It is easier for her to blame you because you are there. You are doing the best you can do. One day she will see him for who he is, not what she wants him to be. I am speaking from experience here. It may take a few years though. So be prepared for that. I never talk bad about my 1st ex, even though he is 2 time felon now. My two boys learned in their own time what a liar and loser he was. I didn't have to say or do anything. I don't agree or disagree with them when they talk to me about him, I just listen. That is the best thing you can do, just listen. Maybe I'll say I understand why you feel that way or something like that, but I keep it about my boys, and keep ex out of whatever I say. She will come around. You can make it through this, it will get easier.

Hugs to you.

Melanie.... if it's any consolation, I've read many times that children will "lash out" and say hurtful things toward the parent that they hold the most trust in.... because they feel safe in being able to "unload" their frustrations safely, not having to worry that you'll abandon them.
