Reading the other stories
has been like a revelation. I am not alone!
I have been with my partner
for five years. He had split (very recently) from his ex when we
met. She would have everyone believe that the split was my fault, and even
suggested to others we had been carrying on for years and my youngest
child (then three) was his!
She has been manipulative,
nasty and spiteful beyond belief. She gets away with it because she has
two weapons - namely their children. She has encouraged his older daughter
to cut us off after her father moved some distance away to live with me.
Not our best decision, and one we reversed 3 years ago, with me moving
back to his home town, but his daughter, young, hormonal and upset, was
fully supported in punishing her father.
He was told by the witch
(the name he uses for her) that his child wished he was dead. She stopped
contact with the younger child for eight months after rows about marital
debts. She then cut him off for three long years because she wanted her
new partner to be the children's father. The older child, now 18, has made
up her own mind and visits of her own accord.
Now the witch has crawled
out of the woodwork again as her relationship has ended and has sent my
partner bright and breezy texts saying he can see his child again as if
the last three years never happened!! While I am so happy my partner is
seeing his child, it means she is back in our lives, and will cause
trouble whenever and however she can.
I feel my partner loves me
and is supportive but he lives in fear of losing his child again. I have
put up with a lot. Lies, being told I can't see the children because it
makes them feel "strange" and our relationship isn't stable! All the while
introducing the children to her partners. She doesn't want her children to
like me or for us to be a family, which is a shame because I would only
ever want to be a kind friend, and my children from my previous marriage
are similar in age to his younger child. Sometimes I have thought of
leaving, but I love this man deeply. And she would have such
satisfaction!!!
