Oh....btw...I do know that I was involved in the ending of the marriage of my H and EW. I apologized to her 8 years ago and she still has not gotten even slightly over it. We share their 3 children, they have practically grown up in my house and she and I still never speak. She still "brainwashes" them into not even speaking to me when in my home. She is causing them more mental damage than the divorce. My EH and his new wife are civil to each other when regarding my children. I give her the benefit of the doubt in helping to raise them because she/they have no children of their own. My children like and respect her. I have worked hard on building a relationship with my step children but their mother tears it down every chance she gets. I accept them, love them, worry about them, they are a part of my life and my boys life but you would think that they were strangers. My H has tried to build the relationship between us but thier mother won't allow it.
She still will tell "her story" to people she meets that knows me, she has had a boyfirend for about 6 years, she needs to move on!
I am sorry for the pain I caused her, I did/do feel very guilty, still even prior to my own H's affair. It has come to a point, where she gets too much out of telling her story and living in the past. I don't know what else to do. I can understand how she is getting pleasure out of seeing my pain, but the A's were very different. An A is an A, I get that...but how can she condemn me and be friends with my OW who did so much more damage to our family as a whole?
