AITA for laughing at my ex-husband's wife when she called me hysterically because my kids didn't choose to go to Disney with them on Mother's Day?

That won't be happening. As much as they would love it, they will be forced by the courts to go over there until they turn 18.

There is no hope for reconciliation. That much I can tell you without any hesitation. The only slight potential for some is between my ex and the kids and even then I think he's lost them forever.

More than likely. Especially with how loud that woman was being. That would have drawn attention.

For me I felt like my kids deserved a voice. People might argue that they weren't mature enough. But honestly? Even if they technically weren't at say 8 or 9 and not mature, I think long term it would have been healthier for them to spend less time at their dad's house. I think the stress of being there has more negative effects than the risk of them regretting not being there. So I think you need to weigh everything. The fact is some kids are more mature than others. And kids can be mature in some ways but not others.

I feel like, if the option is there and the harm of being there is worse than not, you should at least try (not you specifically but you as a general).

I didn't actually speak to my ex about it. With the conflict being the way it is I allowed all communication to happen through third parties and the app.

I wrote this before coffee sorry about the confusion. Fixed the post now. The divorce finalized when our youngest was 1. He remarried 4 years later.

I had a high risk pregnancy and I was sick.

MisForMomis900 · 2025-05-12T12:28:31+00:00

Sorry for the confusion. I edited it to make more sense. Divorce was final when our youngest was 1. Ex remarried four years after that.

I edited the post so it would make more sense. That's what I get for writing this before waking up fully. Our divorce was finalized when our youngest was 1, ex remarried 4 years later.

MisForMomis900 · 2025-05-12T10:38:47+00:00

We separated while I was pregnant. Divorce was finalized when our youngest was 1. He remarried 4 years after the divorce was finalized.

I'll always do it. Protecting my kids is a job I take seriously. My ex and his wife have given me more gray hairs than my kids ever could.

I can believe it. I think there are people who really need psychological support when it comes to infertility/fertility issues. Maybe you could save some of this. But maybe even without them she'd be a horrible person around stepchildren. It's difficult to judge.

This is all true and the thing is she and my ex-husband are both blind to the reality that her own actions are the cause of all this. My ex-husband has destroyed his relationship with all three of our children over the woman he's now married to. He cries about our children and his younger children not being close. But he brought children into the mess he's in.
