She Was Upset To Find Out Her Ex-Husband And His New Wife Refused To Give Her A Present Her Former Mother-In-Law Got For Her
As if a divorce wasn’t stressful enough, not getting along with your ex’s new partner sounds like a total nightmare.
One woman was shocked after she found out that her ex-husband and his new wife had refused to give her a gift that was sent to her by her former mother-in-law.
She got divorced from her ex-husband 13 years ago. They have a teenage son, so they’ve had to stay in touch.
Things had been going pretty smoothly between them as co-parents throughout the years. Every now and then, they’d run into some conflicts, but they could usually work through them.
However, her ex remarried 10 years ago, and his wife does not like her one bit.
“I just try to avoid her and be business-like when we must communicate,” she said. “I am not a confrontational-type person.”
Recently, things got really tense between her and her ex after Mother’s Day. Her son recently approached her and asked if she had received a Mother’s Day gift from his grandmother, her ex’s mom.
She hadn’t this year, which was surprising because she’s always had a good relationship with her former mother-in-law.
When she told her son no, he shouted, “I knew it,” before explaining that he overheard his stepmom telling his dad that she wouldn’t be passing along the gift from his grandmother. He also heard his stepmom say she didn’t understand why his grandmother still gave her gifts.

She was shocked to hear that her ex and his wife were withholding the gift from his mom.
“The main things I’m angry about are how disrespectful this is to his mother and that she probably thinks I’m ungrateful for not thanking her,” she explained.
“I hope this has never happened before.”
Now, she’s torn as to what she should do. She wants to tell her former mother-in-law that she knows her ex and his wife didn’t give her the present purposefully.
However, if the information gets out, her ex will know their son exposed his lie, and she doesn’t want him to get in trouble.
“If my son is mistaken, he should know so he doesn’t think so badly of his dad,” she added.
“But if it’s true, which I’m inclined to believe, I might be stirring up family drama.”
Should she tell her former mother-in-law about what happened to her gift?
