So my dp's ex wife has never spoken 2 words to me. They were delegated for 2 years before I came along and they have 2 children together. Dp has contact 7 nights out of 14 pays maintenance and for other stuff on top of that. I moved in at the start of the year .
I'm not sure what her problem is. I know she is making snide comments to the kids (or a strong incline that she is doing this) I'm not allowed to be involved in any events that the kids have or do. which uduallyresults in dp not going to these things either because he sees meas a big part in the kids lives and should get to enjoy some of their special moments . Don't get me wrong I don't need to go but it's nice to feel included in that way and the kids have also expressed they like when I can go.
What I don't get is why some mum's and dads don't like to see that someone is taking an interest in their kids? Surely its better that when the kids visit they feel happy and relaxed? Instead because of her resentment the kids feel bad or are not themselves? It's as if she puts her own needs before the kids and I can't understand it. Maybe some mum's/dads can shed a light? Xx
