I’m still shaking writing this.
My ex cheated on me for four years. We have three kids. I divorced him, and he married the woman he cheated with—let’s call her Jane. They even tried to get full custody, but failed.
Last week, he called out of nowhere:
“Can you help Jane bond with the kids? She’s infertile.”
I laughed and hung up. It sounded absurd.
Then my son told me something worse—Jane had been showing up at their school, trying to pick them up or take them to lunch. The kids refused every time.
I confronted my ex. He admitted it. Said Jane just wants to “bond” with them.
I lost it. I told them both to leave my kids alone.
Now he’s blowing up my phone, calling me cruel and saying I’m “mean to Jane.”
I don’t understand how they expect this. This is the same woman who helped destroy my marriage—and now she’s trying to insert herself into my kids’ lives like nothing happened?
I feel angry, confused, and honestly exhausted.
All I want is to protect my children and keep some peace.
But right now, this situation feels completely out of control… and I don’t know how to handle it anymore.
