Hi ,
Myself and my partner were best friends as were/are our ex-husbands. We then moved our relationship forward after 6 years of being best friends. This has had such an effect on the children which with help from sensible dads may have been easier but they are so upset and hurt(this is 2.5 years down the line now) that they are not really allowing the girls(we have one each) into our life. In fact the girls are essentially living with their dads. My partners daughter is so hostile as her dad has done a real hatchet job. Did you find any support groups for women in our position- there must be loads fo us.
