I think we all cringe at the idea of the OW being a part of our children's lives. As if it is not enough that they have wedged themselves between us and our spouses, now we must also share our children?
S9 is from a previous R. His dad has had two serious girlfriends since we split. He is now married to the second. The first came after we had been separated for over a year. I was ok with it. He said, "I am dating someone." I met her, and life went on.
It is much different when that person comes in while we are still with our partner. I can not swallow the thought of OW with my kids for even one minute. Unfortunately, we can only hold back the inevitable for so long, when the A becomes the new primary R (as it has in my sitch).
((HUGS)) I am right there with you, Morgan.
