[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP,  it is so obvious that you are hearing from a bunch of bitter, angry ex-wives.  [/b]It's actually beyond sad, it's rather pathetic.

Yes,  I was cheated on.   Yes,  it was painful.   Divorce sucks.   However, it had absolutely nothing to do with my kids.  I worked through the pain like an adult.  I got therapy.  I very, very rarely even think about my ex husband and his wife.  We see each other at graduations,  weddings,  etc.  We are nice to each other.   We are adults.

Your mom's behavior is completely inappropriate.   She needs therapy.   Next time she brings up your dad or stepmother,  shut her down.   Politely tell her you will  no longer engage in conversations about them.  If she continues,  walk away. [/quote]

I'm actually still the first wife. To my knowledge, DH has not chested, and neither have I. But it speaks volumes about your values when you can't sympathize with a man or woman who has been cheated on and then taken through the ringer both fiancially and emotionally. And then the cheat goes on to live a wonderful, careful life more abundant than the person he harmed. OP states later that her mom is a narcissist among other horrible things. Of course this information was only provided after many posters called OP out on her lack of empathy and understanding toward her MOTHER.  She has yet to say one negative thing about her father or stepmother. Interesting. [/quote]

+1 You've expressed well what I've been thinking. I'm sure the entire back story would explain things and perhaps why OP's mom has had difficulty moving on...[/quote]
