Its been brought to my attention that the sm in my situation started a new topic on Step Moms. She wants to know why would someone tell there child the nitty gritty details of you breaking up with your ex? Good question, but she must be bored to start this AGAIN. Let it go already!!!!!!! I have always been upfront with my son as to why I left my not so wonderful ex. I feel my son has the right to know when he asks. I am not going to lie to him about it. In time he will know absolutely everything, but for now he knows bits a pieces of it and that is fine with him. When and if he asks again I will be honest with him. There is NO need to lie to a child, but you can tell them the truth in a way that they will understand. Kids are smart and they will know when you are lying to them. So the way I see it is be upfront and honest.

Well today has been quiet on that end anyway. Mind you they started yet another private group. Not sure why they need 2, but whatever. I am sure I will be in formed on whats going on there as well.

Sorry I thought that you meant she was sending them again. I misunderstood what you were saying. Yes, I have realized that it is not about making friends for her it is about making your life miserable.

Heather sent you a pm and you posted it on bio mom vs Stepmom, I thought. Well its there and someone posted it. She wrote on my wall twice today and I sent her message asking her why, and she said because she can. Not sure what the point of all of this is, but she must be bored or something to do this. Its been quiet for a few days, so I guess she wants to stir the pot again. Heather wants you to join her and the others. She doesn't like when people don't agree with her. She is very unstable, very young and immature. She loves to rock the boat and stir the pot. Its what she is good at. Best to ignore her. She isn't worth your time or energy.

I'm confused who sent private messages? Heather? Why would she do that? So she sent you two messages on your wall without you replying and then sent you a private message also? What is the point in that?

Well I guess we know who is watching now, because she is writing on walls, sending pms to some now. What is that going to prove? Not much if you ask me. And here we get the wrath for talking with eachother. Why don't they just let it go already. I know some have said they have, but its quite apparent some just can't. Guess its been to quiet that is why she started it AGAIN.

What about just making our Circle Of Mom's profiles private? I'm sorry but the internet scares me and I don't place anyone on my actual Facebook with out personally knowing them. Just a precaution I guess. I have heard to many horror stories of people meeting through things like these and then being murdered. Call me a worry wart, my husband does!

I am blonde to, but you should send her a friend invite to be on your list of Circle of Mom friends, maybe that would do the trick!

Well then Fran should send you an invite to our private forum where you can speak freely and not be judged. And you are right there is lots of negativity against biomoms on here, that is why is nice to have Fran who is a sm and she can see what we are going through!

I have read alot of the crap being said on here. I like the way you and a couple of women speak your minds on here. You sound like you have alot of advice to give someone like me who is new to the whole ex situation. I would love to chat some more but not where I will be harassed. I don't talk to many women on here. Alot of negativity towards biomom's.

Because they keep starting new conversations about us. They are joining our communities that we have started and reading whats going on. They just can't let it go. So from now on anything negative we encounter we are going to talk about it on the private forum instead. We don't need the harassment and comments from them. They just seem to follow us wherever we go. Its quite annoying. And the thing that bugs me the most is I haven't spoken with the sm in my situation, its her group of friends and herself that keep it going on and on. They must be completely fanscinated with whats going on in our lives. Who know its there life and I can' tbe bothered with them. So anything they write I don't ven respond to on there forums. I go to either our private forum and one of the other forums.

Sorry Hedy I just noticed that Jaime has joined this forum. She had left and said she wouldn't join any forums that I was the adminstrator to, but I guess she changed her mind. From now on anything negative about her and her group will be posted on the private forum, to avoid this kind of crap. Life is to short to deal with such negative people. Hope you had a great weekend, I know I sure did!!!

Sorry Hedy I just noticed Jaime did rejoin this forum. Not sure why she did, but she did. From now on certain posts will be left on our private forum, so this crap doesn't resurface, but then again I am sure they will find a way to dig.

Hedy, Jaime is not a member on here, that is why I posted it on here, but from now on I will post on our private forum. I only asked a question, and I didn't mention any names.



Fran I was always taught to be honest and tell the truth, so that is what values I want my son to go by. I just assumed most people were taught the same thing. There are just ways about doing it. So as to why she is copying our stuff again... because she must be bored. Its gives her something to do. So you are absolutley right about wondering why she would not post on her private forum. It is sooo obvious she wanted people to see it!

Why even post on here? Neither of you can seem to leave each other alone, so why continue to egg each other on? I don't get it. I know that it my stepsons' mother was on here, I would not post on anything she has posted on nor would I be in a group that she is in. It's just common courtesy. The animosity between you two is out of control. And Heidi I will be posting this on Jaime's wall so please don't think that I am agreeing with Jaime.

this women can not stop. there was no need to start up a post on this!!! if she wanted advise she could of done it with her group on a private forum. but obviously wanted it seen yet again.

Heidi you have always said that you have spoken to your son about somethings about your ex that was never a secret, so why has it been brought to attention now???

i agree Heidi,you haven't told him everything anyway.my ss has said things about the breakup of his sd's ex and why they spilt up( all lies mind you) i explained there are two sides to every story, and sometimes people lie.so i said that i would explain when hes a little older. he doesn't know why his mum and dad spilt up, apart from they fell out of love. my ss is only 7 and has aspergers so its not fair on him to know the truth just yet.
