Any thoughts on this low-level madness. My ex (separated 5 years ago) is in his late 60s and is secretly dating a much younger woman, in her early 20s. Secret because he would not want his older DD’s from a pre-me relationship to know. Also secret because of the social stigma, the imbalance of power between them is pretty stark: he is wealthy and well-connected, she really not. He had worked with her on a ‘creative collaboration’, a vanity project (for him anyway). He likes to be a Svengali. She may believe he is going to make her a star. If I sound a bit rolling-eyes-emoji, it’s because I know him very well, can spot his seduction technique a mile off & he has previous form: he became infatuated with another 22 year old 2 years ago, but that one did not reciprocate and called him out online, saying she felt she’d been groomed and coerced. While his business is his own, my issue is this: we have a 12 year old DD who sees him once a week. His private life is so chaotic, I feel he may try and force this young woman into our DDs life, that’s what he did with the last one. Once he becomes obsessed with someone, they become the ‘everything woman’, installed to manage all areas of his life. I promise I feel nothing but relief to not be in a relationship with him anymore - we have a history of DV - but need to help our DD navigate the impact of his poor boundaries.
