Mothers Day Advice

I need some advice on how to handle this coming Mothers Day.


I received the following from the X:


"I expect a Mother's Day card from you this year as well as one from the kids."


The back ground:


The divorce has been final for two whole weeks. The separation/divorce battle lasted three years. The X by court order has had her visitation reduced to supervised email. This occurred because of on going emotional, verbal and physical abuse of the children. The abuse is due in large part to her on going, untreated/under treated/refusal of treatment,

ROFL!!!!! Too funny Alison, I think one can create cards online easily enough. I suppose Tbearmike could send his X a bottle of bi-polar meds for Mother's Day. To me, not taking the meds when they would allow her to have a relationship with her kids is like not getting treated for cancer because it is helping you lose weight!

Oh Mike - SO sad, all of it.


FIRST of all, i had to cringe at her note to you. Desperate, crazy, ridiculous & entitled.

Very typical. & as you have figured out by now, you could talk till you are blue in the face, trying to make her see the blame IS on her - but its just not worth the aggravation anymore.

Exactly. We can feel sympathy for the fact that they suffer from this affliction - BUT, they make the choice to be in or out of treatment for it.
