I\u2019m still shaking writing this.<\/p>\n

My ex cheated on me for four years. We have three kids. I divorced him, and he married the woman he cheated with\u2014let\u2019s call her Jane. They even tried to get full custody, but failed.<\/p>\n

Last week, he called out of nowhere:
\u201cCan you help Jane bond with the kids? She\u2019s infertile.\u201d<\/p>\n

I laughed and hung up. It sounded absurd.<\/p>\n

Then my son told me something worse\u2014Jane had been showing up at their school, trying to pick them up or take them to lunch. The kids refused every time.<\/p>\n

I confronted my ex. He admitted it. Said Jane just wants to \u201cbond\u201d with them.<\/p>\n

I lost it. I told them both to leave my kids alone.<\/p>\n

Now he\u2019s blowing up my phone, calling me cruel and saying I\u2019m \u201cmean to Jane.\u201d<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t understand how they expect this. This is the same woman who helped destroy my marriage\u2014and now she\u2019s trying to insert herself into my kids\u2019 lives like nothing happened?<\/p>\n

I feel angry, confused, and honestly exhausted.<\/p>\n

All I want is to protect my children and keep some peace.<\/p>\n

But right now, this situation feels completely out of control\u2026 and I don\u2019t know how to handle it anymore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
