Ex and I have recently separated, and after a traumatic divorce which he made very difficult, he has moved out.
He has been seeing the dcs at my house for a few weeks, but two of them have now recently been to where he lives - which is good for all of them, as we get used to our strange new lives.
One of the dcs came back from his yesterday and asked the other dc who has already been, if they had seen all of his photos on the wall. They then conferred on who the unidentified woman in one picture might be. Neither of them knew. BUT dc2 then said that ex had “lied” and told her that the person in the picture was “mummy when she was young” (yeah thanks for that, I didn’t think I was that old!).
Except that my dc knows full well that it is not me.
So it is either his current partner whom he got together with nano seconds after our split, and whom he was obviously with for the months that we had to share the same home, or it is an old picture of another ex I suppose. Why else the secrecy?
But why lie to my dc? Who is a teenager and who knows that it is not me in the picture.
This annoys me on many levels 
.
But maybe it doesn’t really matter? It doesn’t in any case, because we are now separate and, in my case, 
free .
