Hmm.. how can I put this delicately?
Jason's baby-mama has lost her mind. (Trust me, that is me being NICE.)
Not that it seems she ever really had it to begin with. This is the same person (let's call her "A") that point-blank told Jason that she was taking him to court over their son simply because he got engaged to me and she told him that she was still in love with him. This is also the same person that called me up one day just to tell me and Jason to never call her again. (huh?) All the while, mind you, "A" is married to someone else with whom she has 2 other kids! So due to this and many other extenuating circumstances, we unfortunately aren't able to have much contact with his son who lives 3 states away. This makes things so much more difficult than they could be....than they SHOULD be. J's lovely mama has been kind enough to become a sort of mediator for us all. In doing so, she graciously offered to fly her grandson here for the holidays. We are so excited to get to see Michael since it's been too long! Well, some how Baby-Mama-Drama took that as an invitation to pack up her, her husband and all 3 kids and come on down to TX for Christmas. Now, I know the holidays are supposed to be about family, but the fact that she and J have a child together does NOT make HER family to any of us. She's nuts! If she thinks that's how this whole deal works, she will be sorely disappointed when she gets here to find neither J nor myself will be participants in this extravaganza she evidently has created in her mind. We want to see Michael. We want to see our family. We do not care to see this crazy person, or her husband, or her other children (no offense to those kids, but they aren't his and really have nothing to do with either one of us.)
I would just really hate to see someone put such a damper on this great time of year simply because she has no sense about her. What's adding to this is the fact that there are so very few times we get to see J's mom too since she literally lives on the other side of the world in Israel. By having "A" here, this will take away from the opportunities that Jason will have to hang out with his mom. (Because I can guarantee you that if "A" or her bunch is around, NEITHER of us will be.) I told Jason that it would be like me spending Christmas over at Steffen's mom's house (granted, Steff and I never had any kids, but we were together for close to 5 years, and "A" was basically just a "hook-up" for Jason back in the day). How inappropriate would that be? Who does that???? Who is that selfish?...that crazy? "A" is. Honestly, I really shouldn't even be surprised by her antics anymore. But again, WHO DOES THAT?!
What a drag.
We are going to make it a point to not let this lunatic come in the way of us enjoying our holidays. This may require some careful planning and biting of my tongue, but it IS possible. I am trying to learn to control what I can and let go of the rest. I have not mastered this so this may not be the last time you hear about this drama, but I am TRYING.
***Now, could someone please pass the wine? I might be requiring some very soon.
