How do i deal with the hurt?

Husband and I split last April and are both now blissfully happy with new partners but we really do not get on.
I am very upset as his girlfriend keeps posting photos of her, my son and ex all together. People keep saying how perfect they all look together and it is destroying me. We are not even divorced yet and I feel its a point scoring exercise. How do I deal with this?

I totally understand why this distresses you. It’s natural.

...but...The optimum outcome for your son is that wherever he is - your house or theirs - everybody loves him. Trying to alter that is not having his best interests at heart.

I have seen things like this play out often and [i]kids see and understand the point-scoring game.[/i] The best response is to say it till you mean it - I am glad my son is in a loving atmosphere even when he’s not with me.

If you are convincing, it will not be nearly as much fun for them and your son will sooner or later get the drift.

As much as you want to smash the screen when there’s a picture of her with both hims...take the high road.
