Phone wars

Hello all, I could use some advice.

Background: our 13 year old daughter wanted a phone, we didn't think she should have one yet (I know this opinion is rather rare these days, but we live in France and things are a bit different here). The point is, it's something I feel really strongly about.  BM forced DH into mediation about it where they agreed they would wait until June 2023 and make a decision together. We were planning to allow the phone this summer, with a lot of restrictions/oversight.

The last straw with BM

Hoping for some advice or guidance...

I've had serious issues with the BM of my SS11 and SD13 for the last 5 years non-stop, I've posted about it several times. It's been a very difficult year but somehow we have managed at least to keep our calm until recently when everything fell apart...

Feeling angry in calm moments between BM and DH...when will the other shoe drop?

I've still got an incredibly difficult BM in my life, and now, in a very calm period, I find myself even madder and more frustrated than when we are in a full-on conflict, and I'm troubled by that. Has anyone else out there ever felt this way?

Caught in delusional BM whiplash

I'm stuck in a situation that is becoming harder and harder to take. The BM of my SS9 and SD11 is like a horrifying rollercoaster. Either she is actively aggressing both me and DH, she is completely ignoring us and avoiding contact, or she is in a period of fake niceness, which comes out of nowhere and to me feels the strangest and most abusive/gaslighting....

Can't let go of extreme anger towards BM...help?

Hello! I am experiencing serious anger and resentment towards the BM of my SD and SS. I'm sure my situation isn't unique: she is difficult, angry, and sad and blames me for everything. She trash talks me to the kids. She makes my DH's life a living hell. She ignores me in public, refuses to say hello or thank you if I come to drop off the kids. I've done my best to follow all the rules--I don't say anything bad (or anything at all) about BM to the kids. I somehow lucked out to have (for the moment) a really sweet bond with my SD11 and SS9, so no complaints there.
