ex mil hell...

kateronium · June 2014

So my daughters father and I separated right after she was born (she's a year now) and that in itself has been hell. However, I could live with the fact I have to deal with him if it wasn't for his mom. She's constantly contacting me and alternating between being a total bitch and trying to be my friend, wanting to know everything. I've got her blocked on fb and on my phone but she's still finding ways to get ahold of me. I'm just so frustrated!! What can I do???

Um, do not respond? Shut the door, hang up the phone, delete the email, etc. Talk to your ex about it.

The problem is she's escalating the issues between my daughters dad and me. He's already super childish and doesn't bother talking to her about anything. Just attacks me

Honestly, this is a problem between you and him, not you and her.

Do you have lawyer? A custody agreement? Get your ducks in a row and who cares about what she does. You are exes for a reason. All you have to do is coparent in a way that is beneficial for your child. You do not have to like each other. You can't keep her from speaking with her son.

Set boundries with her. Make it very clear that there is no need for you two to communicate. The only appropriate conversations will be regarding your daughter and those will be done through your ex.

Ignore them both then. Only talk to your ex when you have to.

Stop answering any communication. Not that hard. She has no reason to contact you.

Just don't answer the phone.

I agree with previous posters that you shouldn't answer when she calls; she can communicate with her son about the child you share together. I know it was a while ago, but that's exactly what my mom's lawyer told her to do when her ex in-laws kept contacting her. You don't legally owe your ex-MIL any explanations about anything. Eventually my mom's in-laws stopped pestering her, but it took refusing their calls for a while for them to do so. I hope the same works for you!
