My partners ex wife left him three years ago and took their three children with her to live with the joiner who had fitted their conservatory. He had been on his own a couple of years having the kids regularly and paying his maintenance. Everything had been fairly straight forward for a while with the arrangements for contact with the kids.
I met him a year ago and he moved in with me a few months ago. It seems that now he is in a relationship and happy his ex wife is finding it very difficult to be reasonable with the pre-existing arrangements they had. It's almost as though he is not allowed to be happy and move on, as though he was required to wait in the wings in case her relationship didn't work out long term.
His youngest daughter who is now eight has said that she does not want to come and see him anymore as her mums new partner 'is her dad now'. My partner is devastated by this. In this day and age with divorce and broken families so prolific, most people have some experience/ knowledge of people doing the wrong and the right things. The fact that he is such a good dad to his daughters was what attracted me to him in the first place.
His children are now openly calling themselves by her new partners name and she is deliberately trying to kids away from their father. She was the one who took those children to live with a man they didn't know and is not respecting their need to have a clear identity.
