Stepmom Refuses to Play Taxi for High-Conflict Ex: Who’s in the Wrong?

Meet our 27-year-old heroine, married to Kevin and stepmom to adorable 6-year-old Becca. Kevin shares parenting duties with his ex, Wendy, who’s proven to be a handful. Our stepmom has been a part of Becca’s life since she was a baby, and no, she wasn’t the other woman. She’s been dealing with Wendy’s high-conflict personality and constant harassment, all while trying to maintain a healthy relationship with Becca. But when Wendy’s car got repossessed and she demanded our stepmom to drop Becca off, she decided to put her foot down.
