Just would appreciate a few comments on this please. My son was married for six years with two kids. Last year wife joins a semi pro sports team as a cheerleader. long story short...stops coming home at nite until early morning hours just saying she was hanging out with the girls just talking.son understood she needed space so he wasn't too upset at first. Then she went to work in morning, got off work and went straight to other "job" and didn't see kids for three weeks. They separated and within a few weeks her boyfriend was living with her and she was rushing my son to file for divorce. It wasn't his idea so he told her if she wanted it she had to file it. She got all the paperwork and he signed them and she lost them. hat was three monts ago. In the meantime she denies having a boyfriend although she is now wearing an engagment ring.and his kids tell him also. ok so he has his own home, works everyday and has a social life altho he is not dating. She texts me and comes by my place and acts like we are still the very best of friends. When the two of them have to see each other all she does is try to destroy his morale and criticize how he looks, what he does etc. He has lost 80 pounds and looks damn good. My question I guess is, if she has another life imortant enough to destroy their marrriage and upset the kids, why doesn't she just leave him alone and go about her business. Now they are still married and she is engaged. LOL It infuriates me to see my son keep getting knocked down by someone who supposedly doesn't care. He is over her but not over what she did to them so she still gets to him with her lying sarcastic attitude. I have not said anything about any of this but I am tired of her doing this to him. What would you do?

My advice is stay out of it and be there for your son and grandkids. Unfortunately, she is the mother and so you will have to deal with her, but keep it short and polite.

yea, thats what I've been doing. Always friendly and polite but no long conversations and no talking in front of kids. It just upsets me that she actually thinks she is pulling something over on us and we are stupid. That is her attitude but I try to be cool for my grandkids.
