[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know she's nice to kids because she was defacto stepmom in her last relationship and lived with the kids for several years (rent free, did not contribute financially to the household), but now has minimal contact after cheating in that relationship to get with my ex.  So the good is that she will be decent to my child, and the bad is that my child will get attached to her and then it's pretty likely that she will move on to someone new.  My therapist keeps reminding me that my daughter has strong relationships with both her parents, and if a relationship with a secondary person in her life ends, that sucks, but it's not the end of the world.

Or, she could become attached to your child and be close to her forever, even after her relationship with your ex ends! I kid, sort of. But our family has a situation like this, and "the other woman" has remained a kind parental figure to the kids (and, eventually grandparental figure to their kids).  "The other woman" is move involved than the ex, in fact. [/quote]
