My husband and I will be separated a year coming in july, he moved away and moved in with new woman but they go and stay at her caravan every other weekend along with my kids
One of my daughters happen to tell her granny how her dad's woman let's them pick some drink to have when they at the offlicence .
Now my two girls are 14and15 so they are underage plus I do not allow them to drink but my 14 year old started drinking out with her friends and I had to ground her then, yet her dad on phone making a big think of this.
I'm so upset about this I don't know what to do as my ex never speaks to me.

You were together a long time so, do you know what your ex might think about what's going on? Would he agree with it? If not, why's he letting this happen?
He's their parent, his new partner isn't!
What did you do when you were together to make decisions about your kids?
Maybe you can still try and talk to each other about what the rules should be because you're still their Mum and Dad and they're just at an age when things like this will keep coming up.
You're not alone ! It's so infuriating when you can't have a reasoned conversation with your ex. My ex thinks he knows best about everything and deliberately undermines me. I've given up trying to reason with him; i just let him get on with things and try not to let him press my buttons. Could you write to him saying how upset you are and ask him if he'll back you up? Otherwise I think the only thing you can do is tell your girls your views and what your worries are about them drinking.
