OW and her kids are likely here now (in my city at H's new place). We had a text conversation about my kids meeting up with them and he could barely discuss it. He said he could say the OW and her kids were "just friends" of his and were visiting. I asked if her kids knew that OW and H were dating and he said "yes". He then added that OW had told her kids not to tell my kids about their dating. I told him I wasn't comfortable with my kids being around people who were covering something up from them. I did add that I appreciated him asking me.
He responded later to say he knows this is difficult.
That's the last we've corresponded. So, as far as I know, he's with OW and her kids and will be leaving us alone. It's sad to think that he's here and not seeing his kids...but it's better this way. Like our counselor said...my kids have barely seen him leave the house and we haven't told them we are divorcing.
I do really question OW's character--they are both still married and I just wouldn't be comfortable bringing my kids into it. But, that's her deal.
Part of me actually wishes my kids would meet OW and we could just clear the air. But, it's not worth the risk of how hurt and upset they might be. They think H is gone all the time for work...not to spend time with a new woman and her kids.
Keep_going...hang in there. Your kids are small and a ton of work...I can't imagine. You are so strong!!!
