[QUOTE="myfirstandlast, post: 75165, member: 3420"] So there is this online guest book that is part of the services that the funeral home offers. No one else had, so I signed it, and said something very peaceful and just mentioned that the kids might use it to talk to their dad or to share something that they would want the world to know about him. (ANYTHING that would get them to open up and communicate their feelings, right?) There are a couple of posts from people I don't know, and then one from a good friend of my ex who was in our wedding, and another friend I'd never met but that he had spoken of a lot, and I posted IN RESPONSE to their questions that they could contact me. My ex's mother called me tonight, FUMING that I had posted on the guest book, FORBID me from posting there again, FORBID me from contacting or even attempting to contact any of HIS friends, ever. Just went off like a raving lunatic, and hung up on me when I did not cower and apologize. I have done nothing wrong ... where does she get off thinking she can control me? I hate her right now ... and I have not felt honest hate in years. I don't like it. I'm nauseated. I know it is NOT in the kids' best interests to stop seeing their grandparents, but I am just disgusted and appalled at her behavior and don't know what to do ... she was SO instrumental in my first marriage failing, and I couldn't see it then but man oh man do I ever see it now.
