[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the OP.  You may think I made up a dramatic story, but this actually happened. I am not trying to stick it to my ex. He should date if he wants. All I'm asking is to keep it away from the kids unless it's serious. It obviously wasn't very solid, since they broke up after 6 months. Plus I now find out the gf wasnt even divorced from her last husband throughout most of the relationship. Yet she was telling my kids she considered herself their stepmom, buying bras for my barely developed daughter, posting family type pics of my kids on social media, and ex letting her pick up/drop off my kids at daycare during his custody time. Now ex is telling me she is totally out of their lives, and my kids are still asking if the gf can dye their hair purple during a future visit.

I get it.... my kids are not belongings or pawns. More love is good. I need to get over residual jealousy that they will one day have a stepmom figure in their lives. I would just like ex to do so in a thoughtful, responsible manner. I've been dating a good, stable, mature guy, and I have zero desire to bring either of our kids into the relationship at this point.

Op, first of all you are a good mother and what you are feeling is a lot of insecurity which is also normal. Most important thing is to acknowledge it. You can't control anyone and what your ex's gf should do because from her perspective she was trying to be helpful and she didn't know either that they would break up after 6 months. All women are not mean that are there to get your kids away from you. You need to process your insecurity on your own and stop looking for a validation here. Think about your strengths and the good strong bond you have with your kids and that noone could replace you. Self-validation is the best way to overcome it, in my opinion. [/quote]
