Hi all, my youngest has been out today with exh and his partner. She's lovely and my two have have a good relationship with her, as do I.
My ex husband was a bully and it was an emotionally abusive situation whilst we were married (divorced in 2012 after nearly four years of tooting and froing with solicitors etc)
Anyway we have moved on beautifully and I have my team, the kids aged 8 and 15.
My son remembers a lot of what we went through through the marriage and sadly has a stilted relationship with exh. So tonight my daughter gets dropped off (ds didn't want to go) and exh asks how ds's mocks have been going. Ds says about been moved up a group in maths etc and a few other stuff and then says he has to have an extra few sessions in another subject to catch up.
At once the mood is changed as exh says 'well so you are shit then? That means you're shit (he was laughing) I was stunned and froze like it was when he lived here.
I just want ds to feel confident and happy and loved, and in a moment that man can come along and ruin things.
I won't let him of course, but how can I help ds know that those comments mean nothing from someone who's bitterness rules his mouth? Feel so very sad and just wanted to tell someone.
Thanks for listening.
