Hi
Quick summary of situation. I have been separated from my child's father for 17 months (he had an affair and left). I have moved on and am in a relationship with a lovely guy who I get on really well with for the last 14months (we don't live together). My DM has always been close to me and we are in very regular contact and spend afternoons together with my daughter.
DM has taken a dislike to DP (I feel almost jealousy), if I mention we are going for a day out I.e my daughter myself and DP my DM invites herself along and if I don't invite her I am accused of putting DP before her. If I am on a day off my DM expects me to spend with time with her and not DP, if I do I get the cold shoulder. I still make plenty time to spend with her.
Nothing I do is right with regards to spending time with DP. She just doesn't like him and he has given her no reason to feel like that.
I feel like she is not letting him spend time with my dd and I to try and have a bond with her. She doesn't feel it is his place and as he isn't her father shouldn't be getting involved in her life. I feel torn between spending time with my DP and my DM and I just don't know how to tell her I need space and don't want to feel torn like this.
What should I do? Is she right to be acting like this?
