I find this really odd and while I’ll keep quiet I struggle to.
My brother and his ex wife have split about 4 years ago. They have two children a boy and girl. Unfortunately the boy is currently in hospital and ex wife is there with brother visiting everyday.
Ex wife has decided to give their daughter to her boyfriend - who doesn’t live with them and isn’t a ‘step dad’ figure although is regularly in their lives rather than take up the offer of her dad looking after her.
My brother has a child with a new partner - 1 yr old - and is getting married next year. I’m biting my tongue hence posting here rather than saying anything to my brother. I find it incredibly strange that this ‘partner’ doesn’t feel anxious about having their 8 year old daughter in his gf’s house especially the risk of allegations etc when he doesn’t even live with them normally and having spoken to a few males in the family they would feel similar whether it was the son or daughter that they wouldn’t want to put themselves in that position.
I’m probably just being protective of my brother and annoyed with ex as she’s vile and always tries to alienate my brother from his children. Anyway sorry for the moan. I shall keep quiet for the sake of family dynamics but just irritated so posting here.
