I am not really looking for advice I just think after 5 years I need to move on from my ex husband.
I left my DH five years ago and I have struggled with it. I have 3 grown up children youngest 18. He did live with them as when we split I could only afford a small place. He got alot of money from his parents so bought a nice place. My DD lived with me but as he lives in town she moved there when she started Uni.
When the children were small he did very little with them it was really hard bringing them up as he wasn't there emotionally.
Anyway he's moved out of the house and now lives with his DP he rarely sees his children. But there's not much I can do about his parenting style.
Last week was not a good week and my DS told me that his dad was getting re married. He sent this to the children in a whats app message. Now of course he didn't have to let me know but I would have let him know first. I know for a fact he will be rubbing his hands with glee knowing I will find out via the children. He wrote in a whats app group chat.
Just to let you know ** and I have got engaged x My DS was upset by this. No discussion about it atall.
I need to move on from this as how he interacts with his children is outwith my control. So if anyone could recommend some good counselling or any tips I would be really grateful. Or anyone else who has encountered this.
