“My son told me that his dad’s girlfriend doesn’t treat him well”: The Blind Spot

An anonymous individual shared concerns about her ex-husband’s new partner, who has been allegedly mistreating their children. Despite maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship with her ex, the kids have complained about the girlfriend’s behaviour. As the ex-husband plans to take the relationship to the next level, anonymous is worried about her children’s well-being and whether this could be a red flag for their future.

“My ex and I have been divorced and have been coparenting for over three years. We managed to maintain a very cordial relationship, and we’ve even found a way to balance holidays and birthdays for our kids. Everything has been going well up until recently, when our eldest son started visiting his dad.

“At first, I thought he was just being a teenager, but it turns out that he is not a fan of his dad’s current girlfriend. When I asked him about it, he said that she does not treat him well. She shouts, and once Deliebratley left him at school because he was late for pickup. Even though none of this happens in front of his dad, he does say that he’s spoken to his dad about it and alerted him.

“My ex spoke to me about wanting to propose to this lady in the next few months; however, he failed to tell me what’s been going on. Obviously, I have been fuming because this is my baby, but I also have to respect what happens in their household. Could this be a red flag after marriage for my ex and kids? Or should I just let them do their own thing?”
