Excuse Me but it is my time to vent and God knows I am going to now :( 

I am sick and tired of this bull crap going on in my life. Yep, I am separated for over two yrs now yes financially I am unable to afford the divorce and all those things. But I am tired of my ex looking down her nose and acting all innocent and goody two shoes. My oldest son sees his mom for the first time in three months and all she can say is hey and bye to him. No hugs, no kisses, no small talk, no compasssion to him. He is twelve and has issues with her after she left him and told him she loved her boyfriend more than him. She had a new baby by her boyfriend and sees our three yr old every other week. So he doesn't talk to her like other children do to their moms. He actually hates her her new baby her boyfriend. As a child I would to. But I am an adult and no matter what if a child has a problem with me I am going to my son and get it right. No matter how small or great the problem. I am sick of it. If I get loud and tell her where the bear crapped in the woods all of a sudden I am out of control and a threat to her safety. So I have to allow this behavior and really cannot tell her what a immature brat she is. Yep this adultery thing sucks for the children and children shouldn't be treated like this. I hope yours isn't but if they are how do you handle the emotion of whooping ass and taking names later. Don't tell me that she is still his mom because that aint no pardon from here actions.

Hi Greg - 

I am a relationship counselor and divorce coach here on D360. 

I read over your venting  blog and feel badly for you and your kids.  Several folks on this thread have suggested you get counseling for your kids and I agree.  It is imperative that you think about how this horrendous behavior on your wife's part has affected your son.  He needs the perspective of an uninvolved adult to help him process the pain that his mother has caused with her callous comments.

Please look into getting your son some help. 

Even a three year old may need help in processing what has happened.  There is art therapy for kids of his age. 

If you want to chat I am available.

I wonder if your ex will realize that by her telling your son that she loves her boyfriend more than him how badly that will impact your son not only now, (rejections) but as how he views women in general.

My stbx found of his mother's cheating and his view on women is that they are all "whores" basically.

As far as your son, maybe if you could get him into some counseling to make sure he values his own self worth may help him incredibly.

As for your ex - she will regret it horribly one day, and she'll have to reap what she has sowed.

Is your son getting any counseling?  I know that there are Divorce Care groups with kids groups attached.  I don't know how I would have made it through the last 6 months without counseling.  I am fortunate, as my insurance is rather stingy when it comes to paying, but my church has a counseling service and will pick up the part my insurance doesn't pay.  It's been absolutely invaluable.

My heart goes out to you and your sons.  My children are all adults.  Only one of the 3 voluntarily speaks to her father, and she was Daddy's princess.  Even she is angry with him.  The two sons are don't want to talk to him at all.  Ex seems to think that's my fault, too, like I could make our very independent-minded kids react that way.  Never sees that it's his own actions.

It's hard to be both Mom and Dad for your 12 year old, but I guess what I hope for you is that you can teach him that not all women are like his mom--that there are good, loving women who care for their kids and husbands.  Hugs to you during this hard time, and hugs to your son.

OMG!  Unreal.  I could not imagine doing that to my kids.  I let my kids know all the time how much I love them.  They are my heart- and I do hope they know this.  This is so heartbreaking!!!!!!!!!!  It just floors me.  As others have said, she's probably lost your son- and she will regret it one of these days.  Right now she's on some sort of high- that I don't understand.

Well- as I just posted about revenge on your ex..She made her bed- let her lay in it. She has probably lost your son and may never get him back. That is her bed.
As for you dear friend. Kudos to you for loving your kids! Hats off to ya. Read my blog that I posted about being the best parent you can be..and do it. Love those kids- they need you more than ever. Bite your tongue when it comes to this stupid woman who gave birth to them. Vent on here- get rid of your anger. You will reap the rewards of doing and saying the right thing. That is the respect and love of your kids! Give them hugs for me!

Sorry for your poor son. Sounds like he may need some good counseling with a Mom like that. She sounds like she's got borderline personality.
Try taking your focus completely off the ex and putting it on your kids. There's a short book called All Children Flourishing by Howard Glasser that will help so much. I started reading it and my relationship with my daughter has blossomed and she's actually happy. Even with the horrors of the past year and being in the worst part of our divorce. That makes me happy!
There is absolutely nothing you can do to change her. But you can change you and you can change life at home with your kids by changing you.

This is very sad situation. I suggest you seek help getting a divorce through legal aid. It may take awhile to get things in motion but you have already waited 2 years now. I think maybe you will be able to move on once you are divorced, right now you have to feel like you are in limbo and you are. There is nothing to say to her she has moved on and made horrible decisions in her life. She has lost the respect and love of her children there is nothing to say or do to her. 
Keep loving your children, give plenty of hugs, reassure them you are there for them and also will be. 
Someday she may regret what she has done by then it will be to late the damage has already been set into motion.
