The first time your ex takes your children away with their new partner does suck!
Many of you have told us you don’t think it’s fair or right that your kids go away with another wo/man. You feel you should get approval rights. That you should be the one to sit down with your kids and explain. And what about picking the destination? Shouldn’t you have some say in this?
And then of course, how can this be a fair decision when you are then left all alone – without them?
It does feel pretty lonely when they leave the house and you realize someone else is enjoying a fun getaway with the family you created.
But guess what?
You don’t get a say in this. If the new partner is not a risk to your children then this is just one of those painful moments of divorce that you just have to get through!
And if roles were reversed you would want and expect your ex to support your judgement and decision.
Just try to remember that one day it will be you and YOUR new partner that is off with the kids.
Remember you will want the support.
And you will want your ex to put on a brave face so that your kids can go away feeling happy and excited.
This is a tough time and remember you can always reach out to others in our chat room to talk it out with others who have gone through this.
