[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 97228, member: 1991"] DDD's reminder - she is right. It is important to keep this in mind, despite your misgivings about the wisdom of her meeting easy child in YOUR home (which it still is until it's sold). Whenever you think of ANYONE with anger, hostility or resentment, you damage yourself, hamper your coping ability and reduce the amount you can do or cope with. As DDD said, she could be a very nice person. Or maybe just an average person thinking she's finally met Mr Right. And as you noted, Karen, she probably has not been given the true picture, because your s2bx can't lie straight in bed. So when you meet - DO be friendly, polite and if you can, invite her somewhere neutral for coffee. It will scare the pants of s2bx, if nothing else - because if you two begin to compare notes, he could end up in deep doo-doo. If you can be friends with someone who might (if the relationship can last) be easy child's stepmother, then your own family life will be much happier and less stressful. And if you meet and find you can't be more than polite to each other, then at least you tried. Karen, in all your posts you have struck me as a kind, loving and unusually fair-minded person. If anyone can do this, you can. But don't do it until you feel confident you can keep it up, at least long enough to have coffee with her without barfing. Marg [/QUOTE]
