Am I dealing with a grey lizzard here?

Story is a bit messy. I married a man who had a kid with this person. When we dated, I was told they had been over for a while, I had no experience dating anyone with kids and would never again after this experience alone. I offered to get together with the her, offered info for a background check if she wanted, respected their need to communicate and even tolerated some of her antics since I figured she needed time to adjust to her ex dating someone seriously. We are now married with 2 young kids and it's been 5 years. She will not move on. She texts my husband using pet names, sending him pictures of herself despite him telling her to stop or just ignoring her. She has caused embarrassing scenes at any shared events for her kid, my husband has had to bring the child to a therapist at this point bc of what goes on in her care. I have no interest in replacing her as a mom and have told her this but she seems more fixated on my husband in an ownership sense. She has come into our home and knocked ornaments off our Christmas tree while my husband was gathering their kid's stuff, she rips pages out of the kid's homework pad if she thinks I've helped. On and on and on. I am past the point of being civil with this woman and have no more empathy or concern for her feelings after all the trouble she has caused. We have essentially had to cut her out completely unless there is an emergency with their kid. I've read that Scorpios can be possessive over family and obsessive over lovers but this? for this long? She seems obsessed with what my husband does for me as compared to her when they dated. Their relationship was brief and the kid is a result of a drunken one night stand after they'd already broken up. She also seems a bit delusional to be honest, as if to her the only problem is that her boyfriend has a wife and other kids with no interest in her romantically...is this ever going to end? She goes from irate outbursts trying to get into our car to being sugary sweet an hour later in an email about school arrangements. I understand any situation with kids is bound to be messy in general and I understand the likely allegiance to a fellow Scorpio but I was curious about this from an astrological perspective and figured Id go straight to the communal source. Sorry that was lengthy, Thanks for any thoughts. I am a Pisces/Aquarius cusper with heavy Gemini influence in my natal chart. I tend to identify more with the Aquarius traits. She is mid November Scorpio.

She's 29. Not horribly unattractive but nothing special either. I have made friends through my husband that used to know them both and they've told me that she used to try to get people to follow us around when we were dating. Apparently this kind of crazy has been going on from day one, I just didn't know it...had I known I never would've gotten involved in it, it's just not my style of living.

Asked her why she is doing that crazy stuff? She might not be evolved Scorpio. Evolved Scorpio are more
understanding and gentle. She is harsh though. When you talk to her do it in gentle and professional way.
Show to her that you are a classy woman. Point out the *respect* attitude you need and for your family.

She's taking advantage of the fact that her ex-husbands new wife is weak.
You don't over accommodate nor give leeway to an already overbearing person.
You set boundaries and you keep your distance.
She most likely does not see you as someone who will crack her head open if she dares try to destroy you or your family.

You offered a background check? Seriously? Who does this?

Your husband is the main ingredient. He needs to file for full custody and state that this woman is too unstable to raise their children and yes you should replace her as a mom if you are better suited for the job.
Time to turn into a shark and tell your husband to handle this situation.

Husband is a Virgo in all but one area of his chart which is Aries. I forget which placement that falls under though. They were never married. Is this really what it would take? Violence or threats of violence? My husband has told her off viciously at times but to her that emotion just seems to equal affection so he ignores her now instead which just seems to mean its ok to keep on. Nothing seems to work. If anything she seems to be ok with simply being a thorn in his/our side since she can't be anything else.

OMG....you just described half my marriage with a Taurus and his nut job ex!! She didn't stop for 8.5 years. Lots of destruction. Used the kids (my two step children)as weapons which just about killed me to witness. Keep the kids out of it. Have him get a restraining order and e-mail communication ONLY when it comes to visitation. A judge will gladly sign one and order it...especially where there are children involved. It's the only way to keep the peace. Trust me...I know this. Any adult that makes things "messy" with kids involved is sick in the damn head. I wish you much luck.

Nooooooooooooooo. No bullshit violence. smh. Get a restraining order and the thorn gets removed. It's a peaceful way to handle someone this disugstingly immature and all of the kids get spared.

^^^this seems to be the case^^^^ she started getting snippy again when she realized my husband was done trying to be nice for good. At every pick up "are you going to talk to me?" "when are you going to talk to me again" "why aren't you talking to me" - she'd be waiting at his car, she'd say the kid wanted to talk to him but then wouldn't put her on when he called, she'd literally hold onto the kid trying to get him to go over to her...It's been ridiculous. He finally sent her a documented request of no contact after she started in with some sexual stuff on his phone and we sent copies to the guardian ad litem because he's filed for custody after an incident w an ex con bf of hers.

I'm just wondering if this is just a psycho ex thing, a scorpio thing, a psycho scorpio ex thing...seems kind of text book in some aspects...all the dark unevolved ones...my Virgo isn't really a mind game type so he has fallen short in keeping this scorpio in check I am afraid. I just recently had my own little scorpio boy last month and am horrified thinking he would ever act this way.

Just hoping our lives aren't always going to be like this. I used to hope she'd find happiness and move on in a healthy way...now I couldn't care less if she was hit by a bus.

"accommodating an overbearing person" - good way to put it. I have had a lot of issues with this and my Virgo not seeing what was really going on. Now that he does, at least I don't feel conflicted about supporting their relationship for their kid's sake anymore. He would just give in thinking her requests were dumb but harmless instead of the plays for power that they really were. At least he's finally come around. I've just never dealt with anyone like this before, it's unreal.
