How did you deal with your ex introducing another woman to your child? I feel so sad that he might see her as a mum too:'(

My ex hasn't met anyone yet but I'd be happy for him to at some point. It would be lovely for the children to have that female touch when they are with their dad.
As a stepmom I can ask reassure you that I am not here to take any mums place. I will always respect sc mum and I do not take an active role in things like discipline and care needs when sc is at my house. I'm more there as like a supportive aunt would be. There to love and support the child but not parent them.

I don’t think anyone finds it particularly easy but I suppose the best way to look at it is to hope for a close loving relationship between them as the alternative would only serve to make your child unhappy. Easy for me to say though, on the outside looking in.

you have no control ( unless she is abusive ) so best course of action to be positive and hope this woman will become a 2nd mum to your kids

you will always be number 1 ! No matter what. But lots of people develop loving relationships with step mum and this can only be a good thing that come out of a shit situation
can you meet her?

Me and DS dad don't talk as he is severely abusive and was abusing me even after we split. My DS is 1 next month. Me and DS do have a great relationship however I just can't help but worry about him being brought up with another woman in the picture.

I'd focus on the worrying about his father bringing him up, and stick a pin in any worries about the impact of a hypothetical woman who is foolish enough to get involved with him.

I'd be more worried about his abusive dad to be honest.

You never know, if he settles with a nice woman it might make visits better for your son.

Is this abuse recorded? Does the new partner have DC?

cheekycee · 26/01/2025 11:06

Oh trust me I have been through hell with trying to stop him from seeing his son but when push come to shove and talking to professionals - he's never been abusive to our son or his other kids only me and so these professionals said if I am out the picture then courts would look at it as he is a fit dad to take care of his son.
I monitor my son when he comes back from visits trust me and I record and diary EVERYTHING.
That is and has been a huge worry of mine that I am ongoing dealing with. It's just the thought of another woman's also....

His Claire's law list is as long as my arm it's recorded from other woman just not mine as unfortunately he scared me enough into not reporting and family advised me against too which I get isn't good support from them but for the added drama when he had my MH on thin ice I couldn't take any more at that time we split. My family member agreed if I cut contact they'll sort out visits so I can heal and get away from him
