At some point, the ex husband must have decided he preferred living child free, with the new partner.

Her expectations weren’t the only influences going on here. The ex-husband made the final choice.

Justontime, I think that is really very selfish and self-absorbed for the new partner to expect that the children do not come with the package.

I think acceptance is a key essential part of making this relationship succeed.

At what point are children taught to cope with relationships that end, through no fault of their own?

I worry that the tendency to protect them fails to adequately prepare them for the real world.

It IS difficult to see a child go through the pain of losing a parent to a new relationship, but the need to teach them how to cope with this is a necessary evil.

It made me feel so sad reading some of these comments. Children should always come first and it is horrible when a parent pushes a child out of his/her life because of a new relationship. Bad stuff happens in relationships sometimes but should be strictly an adult matter, it is wicked when a child is hurt unnecessarily.

Liza, people’s live change every day and sometimes we just have to take it one step at a time.

We shouldn’t be thinking negative thoughts before it actually happens. Believe it or not, these negative thoughts of “I’m going to get divorced” anyway can be conducive to a marriage going wrong because your partner will be able to pick this up.

Divorce is something many people do not think about before entering into marriage, no one knows the deep pains of divorce until they have actually experienced it.

SageMother, that is outrageous and just plain sick.

Whatever happened to her? I hope she got jail time and learned that her actions have consequences.

Green-Moo, it’s true.

Hopefully, that extra emotional baggage goes away before it starts to affect the current relationship.

SageMother, in today’s society, a single parent can provide as much love and support. We need to decide what is best for our children and being around negative forces will not help them grow up to well rounded individuals.

It’s really a good thing that Sandi’s ex is not actively involved anymore.
