Your focus for Mother's Day is on how you support your children to manage and demonstrate their care and regard for their mother.
Your responsibility is teach your children about the value of appreciation and gratitude.
They have a mother who rightly or wrongly is their mother, strengthening connection and relationship and love between them is important.
And rightly or wrongly this person sometime in the past she is the person you chose to be the mother of your children you and you have the loving legacy of children because of this. Demonstrate you appreciation of this if nothing else.
We all get that this person has failed in their commitment to their family. We all get that you don't want to send mixed messages. But don't be a-hole about this. She gave you the gift of fatherhood. Be the man only a fool for leave and handle this with grace and dignity.
