[QUOTE="Shari, post: 323108, member: 1848"] Yeah, its [I]that[/I] nephew. I told him after the van incident that I have nothing to say to him until he apologizes and owns up to his actions. So far, that hasn't happened. He is NOT comfortable with me in the same room as him. His presence doesn't bother me, but I sure bother him. Newphew's mom (sister in law) informed me yesterday morning, too, that husband and I really hurt her by continuing a relationship with her ex. I apologized for our decisions hurting her, but we made them based on what we thought was best for the kids, not based on what would or wouldn't hurt her. Heck, I am still very close to ex'es family - why would I dis hers? But anyway, she doesn't "get" it, either. Her ex'es daughter was raised with easy child 2 and lives near us - we weren't cutting that tie. And her son is the same age as my two big boys - pot, skipping school, and driving drunk was ok at her house - she knew about it and was fine with it - how the heck do I keep a great relationship with her while not condoning that behavior in the eyes of my teenage sons??? She doesn't get it. Still doesn't. She said it hurt her, and that's all that should have mattered. So now that wound is good and opened again, too. YEAH!!!! (getting better all the time, I tell ya!) Trinity, you think along the same lines I do. I am concerned that scarecrow will utilize this new-found path of info. Fortunately, I keep my distance from Two Brooms, anyway, so she gets very little info about him from me - but that wouldn't stop her from passing on what she [I]thinks[/I] she knows, the bulk of which is that I'm the only problem wee difficult child has. When difficult child 1 decided not to invite his bio-mom and her family to his high school graduation, Two Brooms went straight to them to tell them when it was and where and that difficult child 1 wasn't inviting them, but she was. The last thing we need is those two in cahoots. I keep wee difficult child away from Two Brooms about as adamantly as I'll keep him from scarecrow, so there's not much "real" damage she can do...but she's not above stirring the pot and spouting off at the mouth, and lord knows that can do enough damage, real info, or not.
