Absolutely sick to death of the mood swings of DH’s ex.
She is, without a doubt the most difficult person I’ve ever met. I need to learn to turn off because I’m going to make myself ill. But by the time I’ve managed to wrap myself around just ignoring her shite, she’s back to wanting to be on good terms and I think it’s better for the kids to see everyone getting on.
She wants DSC to stay here as she’s got no car, she wants them to continue 50/50 and accuses DH of trying to keep them away from her. She wants eldest to stay here permanently because they fell out, then she doesn’t. She phones DH and complains about eldest and his behaviour, she doesn’t know how to cope with him, he’s such a brat etc, but then encourages him to keep things from his Dad and tell weird pointless lies.
Their home here is totally secure, there’s no second guessing how things are going to be because it’s just normal. But she is like a bloody emotional rollercoaster all the time at her house. But the children seem to love it. She’s telling DH how she can’t be around such and such person because they’re dangerous and when she inevitably takes the kids around them and he asks what’s she’s playing at, she calls him controlling and makes out like she never said anything of the sort! Kids are sleeping on mattresses on the floor because she chucked their beds out (6+ months ago).
I know this isn’t exactly the norm and it’s not a ‘standard’ thing. And I know that they’re probably craving that love from her because she’s so unpredictable - She clearly has issues, but my bloody head hurts!
