It's about time ex wives become accountable for the damage their resentment and need to control does to their children, to their ex husbands, potential next wives and to anyone else who happens to get in their way.

An ex wife can affect you negatively only if you and your new mate allow it. It is as important for the two of you to form a united front in any dealings with your step children's mother as it is with your respective children. Just like a badly behaved child in your household, your husband's ex wife is "our" problem. But it means work...you cannot take the attitude "if we ignore her, she will go away."
