How to deal with ex's new gf

I had DD when i was young and now that BD and i have split up for over a year he is suing me for full custody of our daughter. He hasn't had her over night since she was eight months old, only gets her one day a week now, (so full custody is a shock) she will be three in the fall.

BD is 22 and is dating a girl that is 18 and seems to want to play house. They've been together for 4 months and just moved in together. She's posted all over facebook pictures of my daughter doing hashtags like my love, love her so much, stuff like that. When she's met her twice, and says she's spending the rest of her life with BD and DD. I just met her this last weekend after BD avoiding us meeting, he only introduced us and wouldn't let me talk to her.

She never gave me the time of day, wouldn't look at me or even said hi. He shut the truck door and she remained on her phone and avoided me. Then i asked him if we was going to introduce us and then she said hi and looked at her phone. But she's obsessed with posting stuff about DD all over her social media when she wont even be decent with me. I'm not asking for a conversation because i would be uncomfortable in the situation but she was just very rude.

I know i can't keep DD away from her or change how she acts, I'm just very frustrated watching her play house and use my daughter because she is cute and gets her attention. Does anyone have any tips for helping me cope?

Re: How to deal with ex's new gf

  • Well, doesn't she sound like a peach. I would say to request your lawyer to suggest he keeps his GF and DD distanced for X amount of time. I'd also document all those pictures where she's loving on DD because that's a little insane that she's in a 4mo old relationship acting like this almost 3yr old is hers.

    I'm sure she loves playing house, she'll love it less when she realizes it's a round-the-clock job. Also, I doubt the judge would grant full custody to your BD.

  • Id get it in the co that there has to be an engagment/marriage before they can live together. Normally i wouldnt suggest this but you dont want girls in and out of your dds life it will just confuse her and hurt her. Shes going to get attached to the people you and your ex bring into her life thats why we often suggest waiting six months plus to introduce our los to people.

    Also, dont feel you have to be besties with the new gf. Its weird and uncomfortable. I try not to be friendly with bs sm. And cs mom now wants to be girl friends and that makes me uncomfortable since we usually just dont talk(ive had one conversation with her in a year and a half.

    So dont feel you need to be close knit. All you have to do is give her a nod of acknowledgment

  • Full custody is crazy. Is there any basis for that?

    This is tough. That would bother me and I dread the day I have to deal with this. Good luck.

    I just get so weirder out being she's seen her twice and claims she's living her life now revolved around BD and DD. The first three months was long distance. She moved the whole way away from her family on the west coast to live here, in Pa.. he says in the court papers he's living there alone. When she moved all her stuff in and said on social media that she lives there.

    That was my stipulation because I don't want DD to have attachment issues after being introduced to every girl and them coming in and out of her life. BD doesn't understand she's going to be an adult and suffer from issues what happens during this time.

    I don't expect for us to even be friends but I just thought she should've been a bit nicer and not so rude, I may have an unrealistic expectation of what it should be because she's pushing herself on my daughter.

  • She is 18 and no offense has no idea what life is about. She needs to get a grip on reality. And playing house is going to get old real fast for her.
  • ^^ agreed. She's young and I'm sure playing house sounds like a good idea right now, but when it turns into a round the clock thing when your DD is around the whole time, it's going to hit her in the face that life is different when there are kids involved.

    And, IMO, that relationship sounds doomed. "Ermagherd! I lerv herm!" After 3mo? And long distance? No, no, honey, that shit doesn't work. You need screen shots of her saying she lives with him. Because he's lying to the courts, and they do not take to that lightly. He definitely won't get full custody if he's lying and you can prove it.

  • Yes! @20Thirteen is right. Get screan shots and document document document

  • @Becwheats right. Most relationships when your 18 dont last. And being a baby wanting a baby doesnt work. I know this too because i went to school with far to many teen moms.

    I say be the bigger person and remain classy.

  • As we'd say here in the south...well bless her heart.

    The odds are in your favor that he will NOT get full custody. The courts want what's in the best interest of the child, and it is not in her best interest to be yanked from where she lives 6 out of 7 days of the week and placed in another environment full time, unless there's abuse involved.

    As for the g/f, not much you can do. Having my DD's face posted all over social media without my consent would piss me right off though and I'd tell her to stop it, for DD's own privacy/safety.

  • Is she getting the pictures from your BD or is she also taking your pictures as well?

    She has BD's mom send her pictures and then in the two times she's seen her she takes pictures of her then posts them.

  • Whoa, what?! BD's mom is sending her pictures?? After 3-4mo of my relationship with my BD, I was still barely speaking to his mother

  • I dont talk to bds mom, and the only one of bfs family member i talk to often is his sister.

  • I've been dating BF for a little over a year and I have only spoken to his mother on holidays or in passing. I like her, but we really just don't talk

    She lives in the same town and he's a big mommy's boy. BD's mom just worships new GF's feet. (probably because they don't fight like we did when I was still with him)

    Its terrible! he still has to have his mothers approval on everything he does, she's playing a big part in this custody case as well. She wants more grandmother time of course.

  • We put in a court order no pictures on social media. This was mostly because BD had my kids pictures on plenty of fish. I though all social media was extreme but I don't really care all that much. His sister still does Instagram but I'm not ready to make a thing about it. They are damn cute so I don't blame her! Lol
  • If she wants more time with them, she can petition the court for visitation under grandparents rights. Is your BD on the birth certificate?
    Lilypie Kids Birthday tickers
  • A lot of people don't look into grandparents rights, so I'm not sure if she would know about them. I hope to god my BD's mother never looks into that... LOL

    I lived in Florida for 10 years.  Nooooo thank you.  

    How about someplace like Nashville, TN?  They have milder winters and it doesn't get awful hot down there.

  • I thought about the Carolinas or Virginia after I graduated from college. I dont know why it just sounded good. But I'm still in Texas (you wanna talk about HOT!!!!!!)

    This chick is a piece of work but I remember being the girlfriend dating a guy who had a baby (and at the time he was a baby like months old). Now, I did take pics of the baby, I did not post it on social media (I knew better). But I was also older than this chick (26 at the time). I know that at first, the mom had issues with letting the guy I was seeing bring his son over to the house (cause we were living together) b/c she said she didnt know me and I might not like kids and harm the baby etc. I kinda understood that and offered to speak with her to calm her concerns but she didnt wanna do that. *shrug*

    I mean this is something that as single parents that we will have to do and deal with (if the other parent is involved in the child's life) that we will have to comes to terms that our children will interact with our former spouses/mates new partners. I am not looking forward to that but it is what it is.

  • I'm in for SC.
    And I'm another who dreads what will be coming home with stbxh. I mean clearly his judgment is way off considering how he thought it was ok to be abusive toward me. He will not change. I can only provide the best life possible for my boys and keep open lines if communication, oh and pray!!
