Dear Queenie,
My husband’s ex-wife won’t let their children come to our house to see him, so he has to go to their house for visitation. He goes 3 times a week, which leaves me and our children alone. And when there is a family event she will be there with their children, so I can’t go because she will make a fuss about it,.
Queenie, I try to be understanding, but is there anything else I can do?—Resentful
Dear Resentful,
Your husband does not want to lose touch with his older children, so he puts up with his ex-wife’s behaviour.
However, the older children should have a chance to get to know you and their half-siblings and it is up to your husband to make that happen.
Get professional counselling, preferably with your husband if you can persuade him to go with you, to learn how to deal with his ex-wife and the situation she has created.
