Question by Just me!: ANYBODY WITH 50/50 CUSTODY?? read this…?
I’m 24, my bf of 3 years is 31, his ex wife is 34, and their daughter is 11. Ever since my bf’s ex wife has become single, she has turned into a manipulative monster. Quick ex: Calls the house excessively, to let my bf know of his favorite tv show is on, or a movie she just watched and he would love it, most of the time it’s not related to their daughter. She knew that I helped him stop drinking, and then she buys him a glass gun full of tequilla for christmas. She’s always making rude remarks about the decorating in the house that I’ve done or trying to degrade me b/c of my age, when in reality I feel as if I’m acting her age and she’s acting mine. Make sense? When she comes over to drop her off, I normally stay in the other room so they could talk about their daughters school, dentist appoint. etc… but now she stays for so long and I know she is doing everything in her manipulative power to get rid of me.

It’s getting overwhelming and it’s been going on for too long. My question is what is a normal relationship between parents w/ 5050 custody. I need to know so I can set my boundaries w/ my bf.
My best interest is what’s best for their daughter. It would kill me for
their daughter to think I was trying to push her mom out of the pix. It’s a sensitive issue and I need to know what’s the best way to approach
the situation.
I know she knows she’s getting to me, b/c I’m very obviously short w/ her now. That’s exactly what she wants… what should I do???

You need to stop thinking the problem in all of this is her.

The problem is YOU.

If you want this relationship to work you are going to need to realize and accept the fact that his children will ALWAYS come first.
