Can I ask though - can you solve the problem that your ex's OW is ignoring your daughters and making no effort to connect with them?
I think you answered that, but wanted to highlight it. Because you cannot. I think she has an agenda as well and it has nothing to do with your daughters.
One thing that always puzzled me about my ex and other's on this board: they seem to pick somebody that is just "broken". I've wondered is that our perspective talking or is that how it really is?
For my money, I think it is reality. I think they pick somebody so opposite, it's almost like they punish themselves in their anger.
But over time, it is just what it is. It's their choice, and while we don't like it (often) it is for them to figure out and fix.
I don't think that's a bad thing for your daughters to be honest. I think it's a good thing they are not getting attached to her. I can't imagine she'll be around for very long unless he is so totally blind that he does something stupid.. Oh wait (seriously, she has one foot out the door already from that description).
Let it play out and be there for the kids. It'll work out just fine in the end if you are there for them.
Crazy people. Meh.
