To change anything would require at least one trip to court and most likely at least 2. Which will cost quite a bit of time and money. So, I'll ask again, have you ever made an HONEST EFFORT to try and be "friends" with this woman?Ok so I have a question then.... What if there are situations where I feel my son is not in a healthy environment because of the step mother. My son is 11. A year and a half ago, she took him to the gyno with her IN THE ROOM. I had no idea until he came home crying. He said "i didnt mean to look mama, but I couldnt help it". He was going thru early puberty and this caused a tremendous amount of guilt for him. Another instance is when she was angry and threw a glass at my ex and almost hit my son. He came home and told me about this also. If this happened with a day care provider or someone similar, I would have wanted to press charges or something. But with her, I can do nothing.
She is also the one that writes the child support checks with "step-sons support" written in the memo. She has actually sent me a check in the mail for $2.00 when the original check was a couple dollars short. Talk about disrespectful!!! There are many other instances. She does nothing to keep the peace.
Is there anything that can be done in those kinds of situations?
Maye part of her disrespect and contempt towards YOU stems from the fact that you have spurned her attempts to try and get along.
