Ex and his partner

Are pissing me off on facebook.
I split from my ex in April 2018 and met someone amazing, in August 2018. We are still together now. My ex is also with a partner who I feel is trying to become my 8 yr old sons mother.
Ex posted a photo of my kid at 3 years old at Christmas. His girlfriend replied with 'Cheeky! And not talking either for a change!' (The photo was of my son with his hand over his mouth looking shocked ). He replied back and they had a little conversation about my son despite me knowing they are in the same house today.
Ex also put a photo of my son and his girlfriend together on a fairground ride back in May when they had only been introduced 4 months earlier. All my friends tell me that the photo is in the house framed. I can't help but think this is weird and she is overstepping. Thoughts?

- while alone, take time to examine why you feel threatened by this woman. (no judgement, just listen to yourself and find out what you're really feeling.)
- discuss boundaries with your ex partner regarding the Parent relationship, learn your ex's thoughts on the matter, let him know you do not want her making the decisions, be respectful for the sake of your kid.
- stop looking at the chick's social media.
- be glad she cares for your kid instead of something worse.

You need to discuss with them both boundaries, what you are comfortable with etc. Its a learning process still for all of you, and the one who needs ya'll to get along the most is your 8 year old. Even if you hate the woman and your ex, just remember its for your kiddo. :)

No,don't you want this woman who is a part of your son's life now to be good to him?
Is your partner involved with your son?

@Jenni855 how do you know she's acting like the kids mom from a couple of pictures?

@SW-User Just hearing about what she does. How she allows my ex to put a photo of her and my son on facebook and up in their house after just 4 months. I also know she sends cards to my ex saying how he is 'The best Mom' because I am clearly not up to the job 😐. She is very overbearing

@Jenni855 I'm sorry to hear that, but for your son's sake you might want to try to get along.

When I divorced my husband I immediately blocked him on social media I didn't need that headache.

I think you should worry more about how you behave than how she behaves. It strikes me that you're in danger of becoming obsessed with her.

@Jenni855 It is not weird and she is not overstepping. Relax.
