I feel like I'm on a bad episode of Maurie Povich after reading this week's request for advice! After more than a hundred e-mails and comments from people--this sister in the Lone Star State touched my heart! You guys know Uncle Kathy is born and raised in Houston, so anyone from Texas, I gotta give preferential treatment to.
Sistergirl is dealing with her boyfriend's crazy baby momma and is about as fed up as she can be. She's been patient, but there comes a time when every woman has to roll up her sleeves, put some Vaseline on her face and kick some ass:
Dear Uncle Kathy,
My question revolves around some baby momma drama. I have been with my man for a little over three years. We are blissfully happy, there are no questions about that. He and his baby momma have been broken up for over two years before we got together, so it ain't like I "stole" him.
I am sick and damn tired of her constantly trying to get back with my man. She has been begging for THREE years, to take her back, via text message and in person, saying things like 'Would you take me back for our son's sake?'. He lets her know that I have his heart and that they are done and their only relationship has to do with the child. On some occasions she has tried to fight me when she see me, but has never hit me. It is just a bunch of loud talk and "cut downs".

Right now, she lives 5 hours away, but this summer she and her husband (yes that is right she is married and has another child) are moving up here about 20 minutes away.
How do I handle this? I have no issue with my man, I believe him when he says he is done. He won't even go around her alone, if I ain't there he got me on the phone, so I can know he ain't doing wrong. My problem is with the constant disrespect from this girl (she does not deserve to be called a woman). Do I refrain from doing anything and let my man handle it or attack like a momma pit bull?
Sincerely,
Ready to kick ass in Texas

Far be it from Uncle Kathy to stop a woman from passing out a good old fashioned ass whooping to someone who very much deserves it! This baby momma is asking for it. But hold on a minute...
Let Uncle Kathy tells you something: MISERY LOVES COMPANY! She is unhappy even though she is married with another baby. She clearly wants YOUR spot in life. She is looking at you like Flash was looking at Eddie Cane, Jr. from that movie "The Five Heartbeats"--thinking "I can sing like him, I know all his parts, I want to be lead!" You're Dianna Ross, she's Mary Wilson! She's the background to your foreground. She wants to be where you are: 1) happy and 2) with the man she is still holding a torch for. And since she ain't happy, she's trying to make you unhappy! And the ONLY thing that's gonna make her happy is for you to lose it! Don't give her that satisfaction.
If you keep your composure, don't stoop to her level and keep your whits about you--you win on two fronts: 1) you keep your peace and 2) you keep your man.
Because if she makes you upset, then that will ultimately affect your relationship with your boyfriend and cause confusion in your house.
So, baby, honestly, pray for her. My niece been trying to get me to read my Bible this week and one of the scriptures I saw was to pray for your enemies and to anyone who tries to come against you. I know that's hard--I ain't never done it--but I'm telling you to do it. Shoots, e-mail me and let me know if it works--cause I'm all about kicking a$$ and taking names later! But if I don't start giving out some good advice, Sheletta is going to pull the plug on my weekly advice column!
Cause if you touch this crazy heifer, if you hit her, if you even think about threatening her, she's going to file all kinds of restraining orders against you and try to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. So you can't take that route, because that would cause more drama in your relationship.
Now, let Uncle Kathy say this, you got you a good man. For him to be so open and honest and turn down some free coochie, says a lot about how much he loves you. So you're doing this for him, because if you're the bigger person, then you help him maintain a healthy relationship with his son (despite the trappings of the baby momma).
OK, you've got Uncle Kathy rambling on and on and on. This is what Uncle Kathy wants you to do 1) pray for this wench; 2) whenever you see her, smile and look happy (even if you want to choke the $hit out of her-smile like you just won the lottery); and 3) love your man and his son like you've been doing. When that trifling cow sees that her words and actions can't hurt you, then she's going to have to change the game up.
Cause I truly believe she ain't doing this to get your man back, she's doing this to piss you off and steal your peace--your joy--your relationship. Cause the baby momma is thinking if she makes it miserable for you, then you'll leave. Don't let her steal your peace!!!
And if you do all that, and over time she still acts a fool, get you some bail money and kick her a$$ like she stole your grandmother's pocket book.
