I couldn't imagine introducing my young S8 to another woman at this point, let alone have him sleep on their floor. When I have my boys, it's just me and my boys. They are our priority right now. The kids need time to heal and adjust from something like this. Why is this a difficult concept for some adults to understand? I'll answer my own question with one word... "selfishness" Gawd it burns me up!
I'm sorry this is happening to your kids Lis. Your doing the right thing to protect them emotionally.
In the immortal words of my dumb X "the kids will be happy because I am happy." Yeah, a little selfishness!!!! @@ Sadly he never saw their unhappiness, but I held them when they cried about not spending time with daddy at daddy's house. Mine began playing house with the OW immediately while maintaining a seperate residence so as not to get caught in his lie that she was just a friend. SO he paid for a place they only went to to sleep. My kids never got an adjustment period and they never really got to forge a new relationship with the X as an independent parent. Oh well, in the long run it is his loss.
