I Hate My Ex Husband

My ex husband will have nothing to do with his three younger children who live with me. I've tried everything to get him to see them but he really isn't interested. Our eldest child lives with him and the woman he ran off with, who he married. I've always spent time with my eldest son and see him every possible opportunity I can. The trouble is my ex keeps trying to push me out of our boys life. If there are appointments we need to attend say for our sons college he makes sure the appointments are when I can't go cause of looking after are younger kids. Then he takes his wife to these appointments instead. She even introduced herself as his mum the other day. I've always been close to all my kids and I never wanted my boy to live with my ex but I lived in the country and he wanted to be near his mates in the town. The thing is now I'm just so sad cause it feels like they are trying to replace me in his life.

I'm going through the same w my daughter.... it's heartbreaking when the "other" parent puts a wedge between mother and child and it feels intentional I know men go through this too, hence why I was never that creep but never thought HE would do this to me..... out children will one day come back to us on their own.
My son, her brother, has had words w his sister for her behavior and she broke down and cried. I think she is being bribed to stay w her dad and she doesn't want to leave

@Solitair exactly.
My ex husband had the nerve to tell me he was providing her w a family environment.... that floored me to hell! I was a rage!
That rat bastard forgot he cheated on me and left his family because he couldn't control himself. I kept the kids safe, healthy, bought them a home and provided my kids with the best, AMAZING family environment single handedly. He gave me nothing.... jerk!
He's got such a selfish ego... it's mind blowing

I pray for you and I. This will get better. We usually win in the end. As long as we continue to be good mothers, we win!

@IntoMeYouSee you sure we were not married to the same man!lol
I hope your right cause I'm so tired of this constant battle. I see other divorced parents who have managed amicable terms and wish that I had that. I never wanted my marriage to break up but when it did I thought we'd still always do right by our kids. Using them the way he does is very cruel. Just hope in time yours and my situation improves.
