Introducing New Partners

27 days ago
I've seen quite a bit of stuff on this site about this topic and it seems pretty good advice to me. But, what upsets me is when a dad, say, meets a new girlfriend and she doesn't like him seeing his kids so he stops taking them for contact just to keep her happy.
My sister's children went through this and they couldn't understand why their dad had rejected them. I don't think my sister could see that his new girlfriend was pulling the strings either.
I think it's really important to emphasise how much influence new partners can have - negatively.

If he puts his girl friend before his kid then he aint much of a dad and the kids better off without him . reading stuff like that annoys dads like me that have to fight hard to see our kids and no woman would come between me and my kid . if she didnt like him being around me than simple .... she aint getting me .
Isn't it infuriating, ..I can't decide who is worse, the ex or the gf. ...and the worst of it all is that you can't walk away or your son will suffer. I would meet up with them both and say it as it is..or if that is too scary..write to both of them saying the same thing...its worth having a go for your son's sake
I agree. There's been nothing but trouble since my children's dad starting going out with his gf. Always wanting to change times and missing w/e's with the children so they can go on holiday!!! My son who's 10 adores his father and he's heartbroken cos he sees him less and she's always there. Now he's refusing to go if the gf is going to be there and I'm getting the blame and he's saying I've 'got issues' about him having a gf. This isn't true he just can't see what he's doing to his son.
