Hi just need opinions please my ex has just had a son and he has called him a identical name to our son who was stillborn. Please someone tell me they also think this is disrespectful

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I'm so sorry for your loss, and that's a really awful thing to do, hope you are doing ok.

SnowyPaws5 · 04/12/2018 21:59

That is very insensitive and just awful OP Flowers

Could there be a possibility that your ex's partner chose the name and did not let your ex have a say?

babydreamer1 · 04/12/2018 21:58

That's horrific and one of the most insensitive things I've ever heard. I can only assume in his own twisted mind he wrongly thought it was a way to honour your baby? I hope things are happier for you now OP, very sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry you are distressed. Could he have used the name as a way of honouring your late son ?

Horrible x

Your ex is completely lacking in empathy.
So sorry for your loss OP Flowers

Nanalisa60 · 04/12/2018 21:47

That’s very low of him, in fact I thinks it bad taste.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 04/12/2018 21:46

That’s beyond words. Look after yourself OP Thanks

calpop · 04/12/2018 21:46

That's awful. Actually hard to believe. He must be a sociopath to do that. It's him not you OP. So very sorry for your loss xx

ThomasRichard · 04/12/2018 21:45

I’m failing to find words strong enough to express how low, appalling and horrifying I find that OP. I’m so sorry, both for your lost baby boy and for your ex’s selfishness and insensitivity.

Rainbowqueeen · 04/12/2018 21:45

Flowers that's a horrible thing to do. I would be really hurt too.

I can see why he is your ex. It must have been a shock to find that out. Please be kind to yourself.

Klobuchar · 04/12/2018 21:45

Oh OP, that must be so distressing. Hugs xx

AnneLovesGilbert · 04/12/2018 21:44

That’s horrific. I’m so sorry Flowers
