[quote=Anonymous]If you want, I’d reach out to the new wife, congratulate her,  thank her for being so kind to D in the past, and let her know what’s going on.  She sounds much more emotionally aware and astute than your ex.

We waited to tell my SD that I was pregnant until I was around 16 weeks.  I was too scared to tell anyone but my best friends before then, and we wanted to know baby’s sex so 18 year old SD could prepare emotionally for a baby sister, if that’s what it was.  (turned out to be a boy which made it easier for her).  That said, the timing wasn’t great then for them to develop a close bond - she left for college and was busy young adulting.  She was understandably jealous and unsettled.  I stressed to my DH to spend more time with her when she wa so pen to it and reach out more than usual.

9 years later and she is a mom herself and has just gotten really interested in her little brother.  It’s lovely, and he loves being an Uncle.  So…think of the long game.  She has a right to feel hurt and jealous now.  But it may not be forever.[/quote]
