I (36) share a daughter (6) with my ex-husband (38) We got divorced three years ago when he decided out of the blue marriage wasn’t for him, but I guess it was only marriage to me because he was married again less than a year later to the little girl who lived down the street from us. (For background, I know he cheated. He claims he did not and hid it all very well but I know he did). Now they’re expecting their first child and my daughter is obviously very excited to be a big sister.
The other day she asked me who I was going to be to her little sister, and I told her I wasn’t anything to it. She seemed confused so I had to explain to her that even though me and her father had her together he decided that he wanted to have a family with someone else so I wasn’t involved with this kid. She asked if that means the kid won’t be coming to my house and I said nope, then she asked if the kid would be able to go to her grandparents (my parents) and I told her no again and she got pretty upset at that.
So I guess when she went to her fathers she was still upset and she told them why and to comfort her I guess the new wife told her that when the baby got older they could have sleepovers here so she came home all excited for that. (She’s also told my daughter that we’d go on vacations together….etc).
I don’t want this kid at my house, I don’t want it over for sleepovers or vacation or anything. I told my daughter that and she got upset. Our next exchanged my ex said I was an AH and I should’ve just pacified her and not shoot down every idea his new wife has. I told him she needed to accept I don’t want to be involved with these plans.
