This isn't an aibu. I just don't know where to post.

Ds has just come home from his dads - well his dads new gf house. They have been together for 8 weeks. He introduced ds to her after 3 weeks.

I'm currently divorcing his dad due domestic abuse. He is toxic.

He wasted no time meeting his new girlfriend and this relationship is definitely rushed. Well in my opinion it is. I'm sure he lives there now but he had no where to live when he left me.

There's nothing I can do. I know. I don't even speak to exh unless I have too. I'm grey rock but it doesn't mean it's not hard

Ds is back with me now and seems happy. He had a good day though i think he's confused. He has no idea who these new people are (he's met her children and today they've all spent the day together). His dad isn't spending the day he has just him and ds. He's trying to create this new family so quickly. There's no quaintly time from exh trying to rebuild his relationship with his son.

Ds is telling me bits and bobs about his day which I'm acknowledging and being positive about. I haven't asked him any questions other than if he had a nice day.

Ds is having well being sessions at school and thru are trying to help him deal with the separation.

I had limited contact due to the fact his dad is abusive.

It's just hard. Don't know why I'm posting. Me and ds have a lovely close bond and I know nothing will break that. I just wish my ex could put ds first.

It feels like it's all to spite me.

@HalloumiGeller you're being really spiteful and unhelpful.

I suspect your ds will vote with his feet at some point as well OP. Children aren't stupid, they know who loves them and who doesn't, and he has you to show him what responsible loving parenting looks like.

I have no advice, but just to say you sound like a really great mum. Especially in the way you chatted to your DS when he got back.

Thank you so much, I appreciate that! X
