During the reception, when she spoke to the guests, she made it sound like she raised our son alone.

I wasn’t mentioned at all during her speech, even though I had custody of him for more than a year when we first divorced. Because I was in the military and had to go on deployments, she took him for a few years after that. I also had custody of him during all of his high school years because she couldn’t handle him. Although I got him through graduation, she took all the credit.

I’m deeply hurt that she didn’t have the decency to mention me. If she had, I would be OK with letting the past be the past. My new daughter-in-law thinks my ex is this wonderful woman who raised my son all by herself. Although I don’t have the heart to tell my son about the lies and cheating my ex put me through, I feel the need to inform my daughter-in-law of my ex’s narcissism so she will understand it was I who raised him during his formative and high school years.

Last winter, I drove 16 hours to Florida to visit family. She lives 90 miles from where I was staying. When I asked her to meet halfway for a visit, her response was, “I hope you can come here. I don’t want to drive that far.” When I explained that I’d driven in snow and rain and was road-weary, she made all kinds of excuses and finally said, “Well, you sound too busy.” She doesn’t have driving issues. She works part time 40 miles from her home. I’m really upset.
