[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why this post is titled, "Ex forcing son to attend events with new partner"

Very little of what OP has posted actually relates to the new partner; it's primarily complaints about her ex husband.

What I find problematic is that in a huge messy sh!tshow like this one, the mom/OP decided to focus on the woman/partner as though she's done something wrong. She hasn't.

She's simply a woman who is dating a man with a young adult son. And an ex wife who is high-conflict, drama-ridden and wants to make this woman a scapegoat. [/quote]

OP here - as I said, I don’t care about that women but knowing my exH her motives are clear and not even worth discussing. 
She can date whoever including my exH. But my son is not obligated to attend the dinners, or pretend there is some family inclusion here. I was trying to persuade him to attend the dinner, but I’m not actually obligated to encourage this. 
Particular  since dad screamed “get out of my house” instead of showing patience in gradually including his new partner, it seems that there is no father -son relationship to begin with. In that sense my son is better off spending Christmas with people who love him, and just maintain a formal agreement-regulated contact with dad. [/quote]
