[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 300471"] You are in a tough spot, but not an impossible one. It is a matter of attitude and choices. LIke someone else mentioned, perhaps the best thing to do is to be strong and "live your life." She is doing this, you can too. It only fuels the fire if you are angry. Carefully guarding your emotions and words, will bring great rewards. When you speak with- your son, temper your emotions. Try very hard not to speak dispargingly about this woman. Try to avoid speaking about her at all. If you MUST speak about her or to her, speak briefly and in a kind manner. Make it REAL...make it believable! Just blank it all out if need be. In the mean time, move forward with your life in a happy, fun manner. If and when your son sees you as a happy and fun mom, he will be more likely to defend you if and when that might be appropriate behind closed doors (although don't think about this, ask about it or concern yourself with these things). What is your concern is your life, your happiness and keeping communication open with your son. In the words of Muttmeister: [I](1) you can't pick who your kids marry. (2) you can't control other people; you can only control your reaction to them.[/I] [B]Amen sister![/B] [/QUOTE]
