Probably being a twat about this, but feel kinda odd about it.
Background is,
Ex and I have 2 dc together. We separated 18 months ago, 1year ago he met his new partner (NP) she has 2 dc, and they have 1together (all too quick imho)
Anyway, today was dc2s birthday, and they went to their dads for dinner. I was unpacking his bag of cards and presents, and found a 'brother' card. It's not exs handwriting, and doesnt look like that of a child, so I assume NP wrote it. It's from her dc, my dc1 and the new baby.
Now I can almost hear you all thinking "yeah and? The problem is?"
And that's just it, I don't know what the problem is, partly that dc1 didn't know anything about the card, it was presented on his behalf, despite the fact he had done one at home already. But.other than that? I don't know, it just feels 'odd'
Maybe its because I'm still upset that he moved on so quickly (not that I want that arsehole back, but still). maybe its because he refers to NP and her DC as his 'new family', and theres a whole lot of crap around that which led to dc1 needing weekly counselling sessions with pastoral care at school.
Maybe I just need to get the fuck over myself?
It's that last one isn't it?
