[QUOTE="Jena, post: 393017, member: 4514"] i agree with-you 100%. her mom, his ex has bad mouthed me and my kids for years now and husband. it's a never ending spiral. she's learned from the best. i truly believe alot of step daughter's bs is learned behavior from mom. although we know how it originated she is 15 now knows the difference somewhat and each holiday honestly this is what we go thru with-her. always drama, she thrives on it, so does mom. they live and feed off of it. so now christmas is coming and step daughter cant' just come here spend a nice day and get gifts and go home happy she has to make sure to create some drama. husband called her and simply said ok enough what your doing isnt' right and stop it, she is your step sister whether you like it or not. family is family. so with that, the ex began texting husband telling him how wrong he is, etc. than the daughter texting saying how she isnt' coming for xmas and how he has to bring her gifts like he did last year and sit there with-his ex while she opens them. ok mistake we made last year and husband told her no if you want your gifts you gotta come here i'm not sitting there in your house with-your mother. so, for now it's handled. now we're coming up with-a plan on xmas how to handle possible drama to contain it and so that we can have a stress free holiday. which is a real hard thing to do when his ex and kid kick up. they've tortured us almost every holiday. his ex is hard to explain. she's a really mixed up woman. she i strongly always thought should not be allowed to have custody of those kids. she's done some serious damage. its' amazing how there is always some level of stress. i told husband we cant' control what ex and your daughter does, yet we can control our responses to minimize our already overflowing cups with-stress and drama. god knows we have enough here in our home. we are both getting older and need to stay healthy and alive.
