O.K., so mine is based on reality LOL When my kids stayed at their dad's for their seven weeks, it ended up being cut to three. The girls and my ex's son from the first ex-wife were constantly getting in trouble because of the new girlfriend. It was a relief for my girls to come home as well as for my ex stepson not to have to stay at his dad's all summer while the girls were there. I had seen my ex's first ex-wife's Myspace one day when Mini-Me was looking up her brother (1st ex-wife's son). I had this information since the summer time and constantly debated myself on whether I should say anything. There were a few things that I needed to say and a few I needed to know.
I felt sorry for her. She had gone through the ex's bullshit TWICE. She wanted to get married again. He didn't. About three months after they broke up, he got with the current girlfriend. I kind of knew about her way before this. He had mentioned her before.
Anyways, I finally went for it and messaged her through her Myspace. I tried to get her email from the ex before they went out there for the summer, but I think they aren't on good terms. He gave me some line. In the message I told her that I was sorry and that I was not someone I liked back then (they had gotten together during the ex's and my separation). I mentioned how my girls say they miss her and love her, because they really do. I told her that I had wished she and my ex had gotten married again, because I knew that she cared about them. I told her that I had said to Stinky one day that if it weren't for my ex, we'd probably be friends, because she's a nice person.
We probably won't see each other or talk to each other, but I think we know where we stand.

***EDIT: I forgot to mention that I wanted to ask her if it was the girls getting her son in trouble at the ex's or just all of them getting in trouble in general. We both agree that the girlfriend didn't realize what she'd be taking on getting with my ex.***
