Your exes new partners

[Ghirly]

I'm having trouble sleeping so here goes with another thread!

I mentioned my exes new partner in the Christmas thread and said we get on and as she is the mother of my sons sister I consider part of my family.

I have a 2 year old, her daughter is 3 but even though there are no blood ties between the two girls, as they are both my sons sisters I make a huge effort and the ex plus his gf and her children get invited to DDs bday parties/Christening etc

How does everyone else get on with the new women (step mums)?

Wow, I think that's lovely. I'm a stepmum rather than in your position but would love to be in that position. I somehow feel very odd about the fact my DSCs have siblings with both their DM and us but that the siblings are unlikely to really have a chance to know each other. I think if I were my son I'd find it odd to not have a bit of a connection witg my sisters' sister and I think it must be even stranger for the DSCs to have siblings that don't know each other. Your situation sounds so much better and no doubt largely due to hard work you must all put in to keep good relations.

What a very odd post, Strand did you read the OP?

I got on very well with my ex's wife, she's a lovely person and was great with DD. I invited them to DD's birthday party and we went to events at school all together.

Of course, ex bled her dry and cheated on her, just like he did me, so she eventually divorced him, bless her. She stayed in touch with DD - in fact she sent a card for DD's 18th. Ex didn't.

His new 'love' has the same problem with alcohol as he does - and as DD no longer sees him, I don't have to worry about it!
