Dunno if any of you that've been married or in a LTR with kids or not, have experienced the ex having trouble/drama with their person and calling you and wanting to know if they can stay at your place for awhile ......
Mine is doing this right now and it's freakin' me out ... I dunno what to say to her ..... she really was horribly abusive and unfaithful when we were together ....
She's Canadian and i'm on the East Coast of the U.S.
She says "well you brought me here, it's your fault ! "

what do you think of this b.s. ?
ugh

    I think you have answered your own question. It is bullsh!t.

    Follow: She is having trouble with her new person. She was horribly abusive towards you before that. Her reason for moving back communicates blame: "Well you brought me here, it's your fault!" Perhaps her new person is on to her emotional games, or perhaps he is an even better manipulator than she is, so the ex wants to return to a place where she can have her version of control over another. Regardless, she is already beginning this process by blaming you instead of taking responsibility for her own decisions. She is also beginning this process by putting you in a stressful situation. My guess is that you have grown beyond this and you are moving forward. Don't look back.

        "I dunno what to say to her ..."

        ---"You weren't happy and neither was I when we lived together so you decided to move out. I am in a different place in my life now. I am healthier and happier alone."

        And if she blames you for bringing her here...

        ---"It sounds like you want me to be accountable back then for your unhappiness with another person today. If you are unhappy and then you move in here, we will both be unhappy. Unhappiness is not what I want and I don't believe it is what you want either."

    She's guilting you into letting down your boundaries, which must be causing you stress. Don't let her do that (probably easier said than done). It's your place, your life, and you have a perfect right to choose who may or may not stay with you.

    That said, I hope your holiday is a peaceful one (as much as can be).

    for the love of Bob keep her away. my problems with my x started many years of anxiety, it wasn't all her fault but it was a trigger and a lesson i needed to learn. now funny enough i am friends with her today but at a safe distance and i had to spend some time away to get my shit together first.

    just remember, it's not your problem, sounds harsh but it's true.

    listen to Some Tom Leykis if you really need help (google it, he has a webcast too) , he is sometimes too harsh or blunt but he's probably what you need right now.
