Dont even bother..JMO..Your ex has no right to dictate how c-s is spent..

and tell her mom and dad.

I would just ignore it and what would you "tell" her parents?hey when someone is bipolar this is the kinda stuff one has to deal with each day.that is why i left here.could not take the fighting over this kinda bs

You guys are both adults right?

give back the pants to whom???? someone that doesn't want them????

that is what i was thinking is just give them a call. i feel like it is ratting out on her. but she is sick and here mom and dad are well off and they give here money all the time.i wish here mom and dad would not give her money so she could know how hard it is to save a buck nowadays.

But how would telling her parents help anything? Bipolar is a disorder, not a misbehavior to punish.

Maybe I am missing something here.

She will never know the feeling of Saving A Buck, as long as they are giving her money..It is very hard.Good luck and best wishes, with kids, my little ones dad is Bipolar.
My ex only gets lille one 2 days out of month, too.so I can relate.

when you are bipolar you do things that are off the wall. like when she was with me she spent $35k behind my back. if they are not on the right meds they are a hand full. here mom and dad might be able to talk to here. to here i am the worst thing in the world. so anything i say she goes off. sometimes one needs a 3 party to help. the stuff bipoler pepole do is so wild and so crazy sometimes that it will make you start think you are at wrong. all i know is that i do not want to fight with my x.i dont fight because of the child.it is not fair for the child. that is why i left the mom.

Sounds to me like she's on a rant an perhaps not takin her medication. I'd simply ignore it. Look after urself an the children. She's gotta learn to look after herself. If you tell her parents anything, I'd perhaps tell them you suspect she's not takin her meds. They don't need to be brought into the middle of anything concernin the two of you. But I'm sure they would want to know she's not takin care of herself as she should.

As far as the clothes go. The grandfather gave them to the kids. I wouldn't give the Mom anything back.

I know exactly where ur comin from with the Bipolar behavior. I dated someone who is Bipolar. I ended it because he wasn't takin proper care of himself, the erractic behavior, an because my own son is possibly Bipolar an he comes first. We've been over for 9 months now an he'll still occassionally call me wantin to talk. A week ago he called me at 3am. I told him in no uncertain terms never to call me after 9pm ever again. You've got to set down rules with her an stick with them. Tell her this is how it's goin to be. You need to do this not only for yourself but most importantly for your child.

I agree with redbean, however, as John may remeber from when I was here before, his ex and mine seem to be molded fromt he same container (and both live in Michigan lol).

I would not agree to telling her parents that you think she is off her meds, as there is no reason to belive so from what you have posted so far.

My ex takes her medicaton every day (she is severe bi-polar and minor schizophrenic), and yet it does not change her attitude nor her general behavior towards me or our children. From what I have seen first hand over the past 7 years or so, is the medicine willn ot stop a person from showing their true colors, so to speak. it will simply stop them from going from depression to mania at the drop of a hat, and vice versa, which is wht the bipolar issue is really about. A bipolar person has no natural middle ground in their emotions, so go from being real desperately sad, to really crazily happy go-lucky , or ogoing from one to ten without hitting all the other numbers in the middle. This causes a LOT of confrontational effects and dangerous habits for the person afflicted by it, thus the medication (when it works) helps to balance their actions out. however, if they are a stingy, cruel and mean person to begin with, they will continue to be so no matter how much medication they take.
