[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5 years ago my ex left me for a woman he met at work.  At the time I was devastated, but realize now it was a blessing in disguise for me ad our son.

Fast forward to now and history has been repeated and ex is leaving the woman he left me for another woman.

My friend basically scolded me for having a karma suck attitude. Saying she thought I'd be more empathetic because I can relate to the situation being cheated on with a young child etc. That I shouldn't be angry with her just my ex.

I told her our situations were nothing alike she took up with and had a child with someone who was willing to cheat and leave a family. I was also angry with my ex at the time, I've moved beyond him and frankly am not surprised because this is who he is.

This woman also did her best to "out mom" me when they got together bragging about all the things she did with my son during his visits with dad. Would make digs about  being a super mama because she breastfed to 2, coslept and had her daughter trained by 2 years old where as I formula fed and my son was in diapers until 4. the list goes on and on about her trying to get under my skin.

I don't wish her ill and hope she eventually figures it out if for no other reason than she has a kid. But I don't feel sorry for her on any mom to mom woman to woman sympathy. Is that a bad thing?

Worry about yourself, not other people.  This woman has no relation to you now that your ex has moved on from her.  She won't be seeing your kids.  So, forget her and move on.[/quote]
