Dear Queenie,
My boyfriend and I have been together for about a year. He and his ex-wife have 2 children that I love like they were my own and I thought they liked me too, but I found out they have been telling their mother all kind of things about me that are not true.
My boyfriend and his ex don’t get along with each other and I am one of the things they fight about because of what the kids say about me.
Queenie, is there anything I can do about this?—Worried girlfriend
Dear Girlfriend,
The children may think their parents will get back together if their father breaks up with you, or they may be telling their mother what they think she wants to hear about you.
There is not much, if anything, you can do about this. Your boyfriend, as the children’s father, will have to handle the problem, both with the children and with his ex-wife.
