She's always been very manipulative, always and very,very vindictive.

I won't let my kids go to her house because she just isn't mentally stable. Her husband is abusive, she called me one day sounding all messed up saying she was upset with him and had drank a bunch of wine and took a bunch of valium. Then a few days later she posted on Facebook wanting to know what kind of damage a 9MM gun would do if she shot someone in the head with it. I got the cops involved. She told them she was just asking for her safety. SHe later told me she was asking because she was going to kill my brother. WTH?

So anyway, I've been keeping my kids from her. I allow her to come to my house and see them but I won't let them go to her house. I'm scared to. She keeps telling them well you could come over but your mom won't let you. We could do all kinds of fun things if you came over, but your mom won't let you.

So today I sent her a nice text explaining to her that her mind and her relationship with her husband are not in a good spot and because of that my kids are not going over there. I also told her that I am not talking bad about her to my kids or making her out to the bad guy so could she please not make me the bad guy. I told her I was only trying to protect my kids.

Her response was: Your kids love us and have always been safe around me, PROTECTED AND LOVED...HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME LIKE THAT!!! I am not the one having to see a psychiatrist, YOU ARE!!!!! I CHECKED OUT FINE!!! F u and the horse all of you rode in on!!!! When you grow up and remember all I have sacrificed for you and those kids, let me know!!!!!

She never sacrificed anything for me. She lost custody of my brother and I when I was 4 because of her stupid husband. He was abusive so the judge sided with my real dad. She played mind games with me the whole time I was growing up. She told me all sorts of LIES that she claimed my real dad had said. Once I had my own kids then I starting see that hey, she did X to me, I would never do that to my kids, or she did Y and I would never do that to my kids. I starting seeing that she was just doing whatever it took to get HER way without worrying about how it would effect other people.

Now she just quit responding to me at all which is probably better. She has screwed up my life enough but no one but her and my husband know that I am Bipolar. She is mean and vindictive and she will tell everyone now

I'm just trying to live a normal, sane, calm life and raise my children in a better environment than what I had. Why can she not see that?

(On a side note, I've been on Lamictal almost 3 months now and was diagnosed with Bipolar II. The Lamictal has been a dramatic difference. For the first time in YEARS I feel good again. Really good And then she has to act like this )
