DH stood up to BM today and told her not to call ME again. Yea, honey!

I debated last week if I should send BM a sympathy card cause I had finally disengaged from her, but felt bad her grandfather died. I had kids give her the card when she picked up SS14 on Friday. I guess she thought that opened the lines of communication again, because she called 4 times over the weekend; which I ignored each one.

She called last night about SS15 ballgame tonight. I sent text and told her to call DH- I was not involved in plans.

She called me back this morning at 8:10, when she knows I've started teaching, and left me a message that she was angry because we hadn't called her back about the kids and the ballgame for tonight. I called DH and just passed on the word she was mad- it wasn't my fault she can't READ and didn't get the text. LOL

He called back on my break and said he'd talked to her and told her NOT to contact me anymore. If she needed to make arrangements regarding the kids, she would need to learn to communicate with him. He told her that he, himself, and she (BM) had taken advantage of my excellent(!) abilities to schedule and make plans for too many years, but that HE had decided it wasn't the right way to treat me. He told me he told her "Tired- stepmom is not our messenger. You wanna see kids; you call me. Do not leave pissy messages on her phone again, or she will be getting a new phone number..."
