How should I interact with my boyfriend’s ex wife?
My boyfriend got a divorce from his wife almost a year and a half ago. He and I have been dating for about three months now and his ex-wife recently started contacting me saying she is concerned about me being around her daughter and would like to know more about me. I told her I was happy to tell her about myself and gave her some basic information about where I grew up, what I do for a living, and what I enjoy doing in my free time. I was careful not to give her too much information, because she is mentally ill and can act in emotionally unstable ways at times. She responded somewhat strangely in that she compared herself to me in almost every aspect–she also likes to read and write, she also likes to sing, she also wanted to be a teacher, etc. From what my boyfriend has said of her, he knows only a little of this to be true. It appears that she’s trying to be friendly, but also that she is very insecure about having lost him and worries I may be perceived as "better" than her. I feel a sort of tension in that she’s trying to be my friend and get to know me, but that she also misses my boyfriend. I don’t want to be impolite, set her off, or cause un-do harm to their daughter in the midst of this. Does anyone have any tips on how I should interact with her?

Be as nice as possible cuz she’s going to be around a long time!!!!
i guarantee that if she is "mentally ill" he had not a small part in making her that way.
personally i am wary of any man who calls the mother of his daughter mentally ill. that is a warning.
cause at one point there she was more than good enuf for him.
Tell that bytch to talk to her ex-husband about who her daughter is around. I’m serious. Don’t start feeding into this bullshyt. She is using the daughter as a reason to try to shine a flashlight up your behind. Tell her if she is too uncomfortable about you and her daughter then she can keep that little heifer from around you too. You are with him, not her. Tell that bytch she don’t need to know you like that. If she had any tact at all she would just start talking to you like a person and draw her own conclusions. You feel me?
By her coming out her face with terms like "concerned about you" and "being around her daughter" she is implying that she does not trust the childs fathers judgement of character. Therefore she is interrogating you like a suspect. You didn’t sign up for all that. Did you? You better recognize, honey!
