I have been divorced for two years, and have two girls 10 and 7, who have amazingly done very well. the problem come with my mother and my ex husband. She is constantly trying to include him in family events, involving my kids, when i am not around. She puts it as, you divorced him not us. I told her i think this is confusing for the girls as I am in a new relationship, and am trying to move on with my life. My mother uses the girls as an excuse..saying.. its their dad, and its making their life easier... she also quoted some doctor as saying, its best to include him, for an easier 'divorce transition'. I have repeatedly asked her to stop interferring, but she continues and now is driving me further away from her. Her most recent is inviting him on a huge family camping trip, on the weekend that the girls are with their dad.. am I being selfish? or is this really confusing my kids??? any advise would be appreciated..
tnx.
