BM controls sports.
My boyfriends son(12) plays all kinds of sports. BM is always there. She goes to every game. She has this group of other parents She sits with. My bf and I usually sit off to the side. I want to feel like I am apart of this. I just don't feel comfortable being in the same field, same bowling alley, or gym. People know her. They comment about the boy to her. Noone really talks to us. I asked her not to go to some of the games so that I can make some friends and feel comfortable. How did I handle?
You asked her not to go to some of the games and you don't understand that YOU are attempting to control the situation?
The point of the games is not for you to make friends. These games are about the kids playing.

If you truly want to support or bond with this youngster then find something else he likes or wants and do that with him. This is an already established routine that works for the child, and not a place to try to prove anything.
Are you friendly with BM? Is your husband?
What activities does your boyfriend do with his son that BM doesn't participate in? Perhaps try to find a friend group there.

You realize that these sports are for the kid not you and you suck it up and sit with your bf. Why do you have to have friends there?
