What's a girl to do???

I met my boyfriend four years ago at an outdoor concert, we hit it off from the very get go. We have all the same interests, we spend no time apart. Weekends come and we don't even questions what to do, we just know we will be together picking berries, camping, hunting, fishing, fourwheeling, anything as long as we are together. He has every wed night dinner with kids son (16) and daughter (12). Then every other weekend. I have my two girls (10) & (8) full time, they spend every other weekend with their dad. Their dad and I get along great, no problems! His kid's mom has hated me from the very start, she once told the kids it was because I didn't say hi to her the first time we met? I honestly don't even remember her saying anything to me? The kids have always expressed that she didn't like me, I tried to keep my mouth shut and not say a whole lot, but then her comments crossed major boundaries! She filed a harrassment/no contact order and the courts denied it. Now recently their son (16) told her that he hates me because I demand his dad. I simply have rules that I expect all four kids to abide by? She won't quit sending texts to their dad that just degrades him as a father, and says that if he would spend some time alone with their son then maybe he would know that he hates me and that he nevers talks or spends time with his kids. But in my defense, we only have our children together two weekends a month and want to spend that time together, when they come over for dinner on weds. we enjoy sitting down at the table and eating together, she refuses any extra time with the kids? Is this wrong?

Thank you! I can usually openly talk with both his kids, lately his son has gotten very quiet. I do think he has a problem with me but hate is a pretty strong word, I think the problem he has is we (I) won't allow him to take our car to go whenever he wants. The ex wife cheated on my boyfried with her new husband, I don't really understand how someone ends the relationship and still can't get over him? Its as if she doesn't want him but doesn't want anyone else to have him...

You hit it exactly. She doesn't want him but doesn't want anyone else to have him. So can't accept that he could move on from her. Problem here is she still wants him and uses as to find out information it's driving me nuts!!!!!

She has even filed a harrassment order against me...thank god the court denied it but it still shows on my record. Apparently the courts seen there was nothing there for her to need one. I seriously crumble when she causes drama and let her get to me, I take it personal for some reason. It is the only problem my boyfriend and I have, I just wish I knew how to tame the beast=)

Beasts are hard to tame! I know. Our BM left him, had an affair and got an abortion within two months of leaving! I came in the picture well after yet I am the home wrecking whore! Shes miserable and see him happy - it hurts regardless of what she says. She probably didn't like the fact the her kids didn't hate you from the door too. An open conversation with the 16 year old may need to happen. See what's really bugging him. It could very well be as you said, pouting as you said because he doesn't get the car to venture around.

Just last summer he wanted to move in with us, and his ex-wife refused, now he hates us? It feels like a roller coaster ride twenty-four seven. I never thought it would be this hard. His ex wife and her husband make good money, we don't and she keeps taking the kids and signing them up for all these sports, activities, braces...etc and sends us the bill for half. We can't get it through her head that we refuse to pay for these until we get a say in signing them up.

Even if their dad doesn't want too? Im suppose to tell him to spend alone time with his kids?
