[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former husband could not hold a job, could not deal with authority.  Divorce was necessary for welfare of the boys.  He is not 'father of the year.'  He is an extremely angry person.  BF is kind and sensitive to boys needs.  He does not want to replace their father, he has his own children. X is just jealous and immature.  Divorce was two years ago.    [/quote]

If he's a keeper then yes make sure the kids get to know him better. If he's going to be the new partner then continue to forge a good relationship, and co-parent with him. Forget the ex, I would have minimal contact with him. Do the child exchanges and figure out how to get him out of your life.  You can't control his sickness, but continue to tell the kids positive things and that you hope he finds someone nice someday. Your ex will soon figure out happiness is the best revenge, and his tactics are backfiring.  We had a ex like that, we co-parented together and she could do the same when the kid was with her. It's called moving on, and your ex will only be empowered if you let him.  He can get info. from schools, doctors, etc. otherwise you can communicate by text, email, if there are child schedule exchanges.  I laughed that someone on here said you shouldn't be dating, they must be a vengeful ex.

I suspect the child is acting out because of the change in circumstances. Do some fun outings with the boyfriend, and ignore some of the things that are said...it may be for attention and sometimes negative attention is better then none. It will pass.[/quote]
