[quote=Anonymous]+1 to all that ^

I imagine many of the ppl ripping the OP to shreds are divorced moms with primary or sole custody, or married moms who don’t have to coparent? Or maybe just all reasonable people who don’t get what it’s like to have a high conflict person in your life and how if you give an inch they will take a mile. Even if you’re a sane and pleasant ex-wife, not all of them are!!!

No one seems to understand the reality that this poster owes the child’s mom nothing at all. Not her compassion and not her time. Except maybe a thank you note for the present. It would be kind and generous for her to meet bio mom and put her at ease but she doesn’t have to, and (based on poster’s account) the bio mom has shown herself to be manipulative, has trouble controlling her actions when she’s upset, and is hostile. If that’s true it’s understandable that people want to keep their distance. It’s hard to put boundaries up after the fact, so it’s better for the OP and boyfriend to be overzealous at first and soften them later if they want[/quote]
