Daughter meeting new girlfriend

[newwomannow]

Am feeling low as stbxh has told me this week that he will be introducing my 6 year old to his new girlfriend this weekend.

We split in April & he’s been seeing her for less than two months.

Grrrr

Same happened to me OP after an 18 year relationship. Two months after moving out. I begged him not to do this to them but he went ahead and has pressed on ever since with overnight stays, she's there when they don't expect it, he even cancels or curtails his time with them to see her. My DCs (particularly DS 11) don't want much to do with her and it's all because it was done far too quickly when they were still unsettled. However I don't think there's much you can do if you have shared PR. Just make sure that you're there for your DD 100% and she knows she's loved and cared for. Try to avoid slating either of them in front of her. In time she will make her own mind up. In the meantime here are some as I know how rotten this feels.

Thanks Regina, sorry to hear you’ve had to deal with the same.

Yes it’s tough, I know I can’t control his actions, I tried to ask him to wait at least 3 months but he said he didn’t see the need for hard & fast rules.

I just need to suck it up & be the rock for my DD.

That's all you can do, as crap as that may be. Just make sure she's your no1 priority and you listen to everything she wants to talk about and try to remain neutral. Having ranted and raved, lost the plot and almost driven myself mad over it, I'm now out the other side and that's the best advice I can order you

Thanks Regina, this is my second divorce involving a child but my first ex-H was on the the same page as me which helped a lot & we co-parent well with no real issues.

Stbxh though seems to have lost the plot & is now just looking out for number one.

What a total twat...obviously cares more about the GF than his child....who will no doubt now have multiple "Aunts".
