IS THIS BULLSHIT OR APPROPRIATE?

To me, it sounds like mom is in fact teaching her kids to disrespect non-maternal authority and probably poisoning them against their dad (or, she's at least enabling their bizarre behavior).

That happens quite a bit in a divorce, when I was first divorced whenever I talked to my Daughter I could hear my ex in the background from time to time talking shit about me. I ignored it and when my daughter came over never once said a bad word about her. I figured my child should not be in the middle of adults arguing, that's one reason I got a divorce when my child was 3 yrs old. I did not want her to see the way we treated each other.
But the ex in her infinite wisdom tried all kinds of things to make me look bad. This week my Daughter turns 29 and cannot stand her mother sure she talks to her but there is no respect in her tone of voice. But she calls me every day almost.
Some people just don't get it and use the children as a tool for their hatred, a very fine line to walk in the experiment of life.
