Question:
Baby Mama Drama?
2007-02-02 23:24:26 UTC
My bf & I have been together for about a year & a half. He has a 5 year old son who is 5 with his ex-wife. He sees his child every other weekend. Throughout our relationship, his ex has made a bit of a pest of herself. Nothing major, just asking him for cigarette money in addition to the child support (he doesn't give it to her), making smart a** comments about me to him (she's only seen me, never met me). Recently though, some weird things have been going on. About a month ago, my bf's son says he wants him to live with his mommy. My bf explained why he wasn't with her & his son just said "ok" and dropped it. Last week, his ex calls him to tell him that their son has been waking up crying & asking for him. She claims she's taking the kid to thearpy because of it. My bf asks his kid and he denied it. My bf's ex lives with her parents, has another older child by another man, no job and can't hold onto a bf. My question is, does all this sound like she's trying to get back with him?

Beware of the game thats being played..She is using the child as a pawn in a sick game.You can not say a word to defend yourself because if you do, then you will look like a very bad person who does not care about the child.The best thing you can do if you want to continue this relationship is support the design to take the child to therapy and let the child know his Dad loves him and will be there if he needs him.maybe suggest to your b/f that he get his son for a night or two thru the week...or take him to the movies or a ball game.Try not to be negative toward his mommy when he is around. If anything build her up some.Dont ask him about going to therapy ,let him bring it up...Just BE SUPPORTIVE WITHOUT GETTING TOO INVOLVED...GOOD LUCK.

How a strategies lengthy is she? no longer that it extremely concerns, what does is that you've been waiting to spend some thing of your existence with someone after in common words 6 months and now are crying disillusioned because you've discovered out some thing about him that would not in good structure into your plans. in case you've been so waiting to make an finished life dedication to the guy, you need to be ready to stand through your guy via the drama of managing the mum of his newborn. (And who's to assert there'll be drama see you later as he continues to be cutting-edge on his newborn help. Or extra perfect yet, why no longer put off the marriage and get to understand your better 1/2..and his previous...somewhat extra perfect. Now lower back to how a strategies alongside is she? Did she only confront him that she's 6, 7, or 8 months pregnant or about to drop any day now or has he wide-spread for a lengthy time period and only now getting round to telling you? the former signifies that there will be different "little" issues your destiny husband is retaining from you! As for the toddler mama drama...have your fiance contact an lawyer to make certain first paternity, then if necessary his parental rights, to make certain visitation and newborn help funds. For you, in case you settle on to flow ahead with the marriage, do not enable your earnings be coated together with his - keep separate economic employer expenditures, report married filing separate tax varieties, yet be prepared to assist him together with his toddler.

Hard to say what's on her mind... but one thing that is certain is that this kind of drama can go on nearly endlessly. My son will be 8 in a couple of months and I've gone through way more grief with his mother than you can imagine-- to the point that she even offered me a large sum of money a few years ago to renounce paternity (so she could give our son to her sister-- who hadn't been able to conceive any kids at that point-- to raise as her own).



When people are twisted enough to use their kids as weapons and throw them into the midst of the fray, I don't believe a change of MO is likely... if you stay with this man, be prepared to deal with this type of drama almost incessantly. Hopefully the kid grows up none the worse for the wear, but it's hard to say. At this point in time, my son prefers to be with me much more than with his mother-- she is really rather careless about giving him attention and, sad to say perhaps, I am far and away the more nurturing, hands-on parent. Do I get the urge to tell him his mom is a POS? Sure, it's only natural; I try my damnedest, however, not to... what for? It's already obvious to my kid that things are not precisely what they should, and I've no desire to exacerbate that...



I can't overemphasize that people who make this kind of behavior a habit are unlikely to change anytime soon. Good luck to you and your BF, but more importantly, to the child involved. It's a crying shame that some people are more interested in acting like jerks than in raising their children the right way.

I suggest to stay away until this issue is resolved. Similar case like me, it reversed me the male you the woman. It was my wife passed with her ex. The problem with that state law, the child must remain the state until out of school, stupit law! We never had to pay child support it was all paid by SSA & SSI under his name. Guess what, his BF left him, they now are seperated and the child lives with her AUNT until she is done with school... that's so retarded! Judge should always give the woman their child. Unless proven unfit mother! Fact of proof can be missleaning if other partner lies all the way across the board in court made it the truth and favor in him. Guess why we got triple blessing after he was finally judge by the LORD! Holy spirit will not forgive him, except by Jesus. Amen! The child now calls me the dad, she hate him now. She love him as a father, but not as a daddy. It was his choose to be with the men, not us. MAN & Woman should bare children only, that is only my beleive. Do not mock me again, I have the right to share. My prayer is always in him to find his path again and hope he can change to regain the seed of his child too. My prayer for him to find a lady as well that ex lady of your end find her ways again in order to leave you and him alone. All of you must give the child best interests of her education and her peers.

The baby's mother is simply testing your bf and trying to guilt him into getting back with her. She's expecting him to fall for the,"the child is suffering because of your absence," okey doke. Just be on the look out and supportive of your man. Good luck.

No, I don't think it sounds like she's trying to get back with him. His son just misses him and wants his mom and dad to be together. That's completely normal for kids to do.
