[quote=Anonymous]Start by NEVER using the term "bonus mom" again. That's disgusting, most especially in a high conflict situations. You are NOT this boy's mother of any kind. You are his dad's girlfriend. I am a stepmom. The worst thing you can do around a high conflict ex is try to claim status with her children. Even in a very warm co-parenting situation, though, "bonus mom" is overstepping soooo far. Almost the equivalent of her asking a BF to be called "dad". It's astonishing that you can't see that. Ultimately, your problem is not the ex. It's your weak, conflict avoidant boyfriend. [/quote]
