My husband and I have been married for 28 years, and my Mom still brings up my ex husband and his family members. I have ask her many times over the years not to, it really bothers me. My husband adopted the kids long ago when they were 8 and 5 years old. My husband says she doesn't mean to do it, but I disagree with him. This has gone on for too long to be accidental. No matter what I say, she just keeps it up., and tells me that it just shouldn't bother me. Well, it does, he was a jerk and didn't pay child support, see the kids, or cover them with insurance, and I am supposed to just think that this is o.k. I won't, I can't, I am not going to deal with him at all. If he comes around my family at all, I will walk out of the room, I don't care if I am in a funeral home or a wedding chapel. I just fall apart. When we were married, they called him a hillbilly and every name in the book they could think of. I just don't get it and never will. What does anyone else think? I tried to deal with him when I had to, but always got lies and stories, cheated on and everything else. I just plain don't want to deal with this person in any way, shape, or form.
