My 9yr son told me this week that he's calling Dads new gf 'Mum' :-(
I'm heartbroken. I thought that the bond we had was so strong that he would never consider this.
They have been going out for a while and in the last few weeks have started to all live together, with her 2 children and my 10yr old daughter.
We have shared care and have a civil relationship.
I have met the gf, and she is very nice so I'm happy that the kids will be looked after but I never thought that they would call her 'Mum' as they have a Mum - me :-(
I spoke to my daughter about it and she is indifferent and asked how I would feel if she did.
I messaged Dad when I found out and was told "where happy for the kids to call us what they want".
Am I wrong in thinking that this should have been an Adult conversation first as to why he thought this was necessary?
I'm not in a relationship with anyone, and I am genuinely happy for them all, but why do I feel like this? Why do I feel like I'm losing him ? I can't look at him in the same way and it's breaking my heart x
I don't want to upset him by telling him how hurt I am bc what's done is done, but I don't want to be in 'competition' for the Mum title as I thought I'd already done enough to deserve that.
Maybe he doesn't see the significance, and it's just a word, and maybe I need to get some perspective and get over myself xx
