Thanks toots and Rppfl. I am just thinking about future. Rppfl. I would never do anything to harm my kids R with their mum. I defend her actions daily and my D10, D13'and S16 ask me why I am friendly towards her If we move it would be about an extra 40 mins for W to see kids. This is just thinking at the moment.

Last Wednesday my D10 saw OM in town after my W collected her from school My D10 was very upset and was crying and screaming D10 cannot understand why her mum won't drop this guy as a friend. This morning my D13 was sobbing so much that I had to take her to work with me. D13 told me she missed her mum and the reality of the sitch was sinking in.

Iam learning to deal with sitch but my kids aren't. I feel I need to protect them from expoure to OM ( generally exposure, not one on one because. They would not be subjected to that ) and the pain of seeing W leaving every day.

I asked for opinions so thank you both for posting. I apologise for not posting on others but at the moment I am struggling with kids and what to do make this easier for them Take care. Rd
