So I'm separated from my kids dad, he cheated and left me for another woman. We have 6 kids He's been with this woman 3 years and recently married. She's apparently a Jehovah witness who doesn't celebrate birthdays.. there's the background info
So my daughter turned 16 yesterday. I gave her £90 birthday money ( I had saved it and he's all I could afford with me not working atm) and I took her to town to go shopping with it. She wrote on her WhatsApp status how happy she was she went shopping with her mum and got some new things.
Then i put a pic of her on my Facebook profile pic of her saying how proud I am of her and looking forward to watching her grow
So my exes wife has NEVER ever bought any of my chickens presents ever. Of the 3 years where several birthdays have passed for my 6 kids she's never bought any of them one present at all. Now today because she knows me and my 16 year old are getting along and repairing our relationship ( her dad tells his wife all our personal family issues)
She goes and packs a massive pink box with makeup, jewellery , perfumes and nails kits the lot!! Every girls dream and even Bought her liquorice they only me and her dad know is her favourite so she's gone out of her way to 'out do' me. Coz she doesn't like the fact me and my daughter are no longer at logger heads with each other. She's NEVER done this as like i said she isn't supposed to celebrate birthdays. Me and her dad had an issue this week where he threatens to punch me at my door just because I told him He can't force our daughter to do an apprenticeship when she doesn't want to do it, she's wants to go to college!! But he's got it into his head that I'm stopping her going to college because I'll lose all financial support for her and she's not allowed to pay any to this household if she earns on her apprenticeship as it's to save for her future so he knows my financial situation is about to be dire so he thinks I've told her not to do the apprenticeship because of that but I haven't. She's told me she wants to go to college but he won't listen so I feel like this is done to rub in my face that they have all this money and a better relationship with my daughter than I do ( he's alienated her against me over the years always calling me names in front of her and telling her how useless I am' so it's strained out relationship
My other daughter who is 15 is upset because his wife never did this for her on her birthday. Or my other girls.
I don't know if I'm overreacting but these people are abusive and do things to deliberately upset me
