I am with you. H is just dying to replace me with OW so the kids can see her as a mother figure. I am taking steps to make sure she cannot easily replace me, but honestly, in a few years I think H will have another OW when this one fails to meet his needs or if his needs should change.
I am sure the kids regard her as "dad's friend" and she is just trying to buy their love. They don't want to betray you that's for sure. They don't understand but you know that.
I am on your side. This stinks. It's unfair and we as LBSs feel like we are being punished when we are not necessarily doing anything wrong.
It's best just to calm down and know karma will catch up to them eventually. I know that doesn't make you feel better now. I totally get that. But try to be the better person. Imagine if OW bought those necklaces just to ticking off. You're playing right into her hands.
Trust me. I know how much it hurts. Why can't they just spend time with their kids? They are insecure and scared and weak. They can't do it alone. They need someone to lean on.
