Does BM Drama Ever End?

CO Holiday visitation schedule, we have kids Good Friday at 10 to Easter Sunday at 4, alternates each year. BM has the kids calling all week for DH to pick up at 8:30 Good Friday morning. Fine, no problem. We talk to kids about Easter weekend, tell them they go back to BM on Sunday for Easter dinner.

Here comes the drama, DH takes kids back to BM on Sunday, she's not there. He text, no response. Kids call, no answer. She text DH, it was Saturday, not Sunday, you kidnapped them. WTF? I send picture of Holiday sheet to DH via text. He forwards to BM. She text pic back, where we have Sunday, she has Saturday.

Propels into a huge email, text fight. She calls him a kidnapper for not bringing them back on Saturday, he "stole" her Easter. BS, if he is ever 5 minutes late, she is calling/texting. And this was a holiday, she wants him to believe, she didn't want to cause a scene. She lives to cause a scene.

Obviously, there is some kind of mistake, hers or ours, we don't know. But, if she had called, text, email on Saturday this would have been avoided. What if there was an accident on the way to her house on Saturday to drop off kids? She would never know, cause she didn't ask. S

I think she knew this would happen, let it happen and is now attacking. She is threatening, even up to yesterday to call police, bring kidnapping charges, calls him a drug addict, a mental case, blah blah blah.

Why do the BMs live to make life miserable?

I wonder that myself, is she a sociopath, bi-polar, must be something? They both had to have mental evaluation 2 years ago. DH went to the same doctor he saw when they divorced, she went to three different doctors and submitted one eval.

Wonder what the other two said?

Why do the BMs live to make life miserable?

Because they are miserable.

Because they are angry and bitter and full of hate.

Because they want to feel in control.

Because they have nothing better to do.

Because they have mental issues.

Right on all counts!! Especially #3! I do think that has a lot to do with it

That's what I said, there is no stamp on either of our pages. DH said there was some change made after the initial and maybe I was carrying around (yes, I have to do that), the wrong one. I told him to check the two he has, one at his office and one in his vehicle, (yes, he has to do that too). He could not find either one, big surprise. But I told him that I would not have any copy except the one from the court.

He could not remember what change, and the judge had cleared the court, except for them and their attorneys, so I don't remember either.

I have no answer for ya.

But I will say this: If DH could pay BM double the amount of already outrageous child support he pays for 50/50 and let BM keep them full time, I'd gladly take on a second or third job to make it happen.

Visitation is a never-ending source of stress and drama for me, and my skids are basically good. Just isn't worth it.

Yeah. And we live in a state that requires payment until the skid is 21.

The moral of the story: Use. Birth. Control.

Our BM likes to play the Police Card all the time and threatening that DH kidnapped SS. Police always tell her its a civil matter and they don't get involved.
