My ex is struggling. Badly. She wrote me off because I wouldn't give her money for food. Good. Never wanted to talk to her again anyway.

Now, I've met someone amazing. She treats me good. We communicate well. And she's heard about my past with my ex. She's heard about my kids and how they have suffered through this. She knows that I have full custody and it's a package deal. Me and them together.

And she is more than ready for that. She has met my kids and they love her. She loves my kids. She's already planning a surprise for them for Xmas. I really hit the lottery with this woman. She's given me nothing but love and respect and she's listened to me. Really listened. I haven't had any of those things in ages.

But we are taking it slow, even though things are in deep fairly quick with us. We aren't announcing it to the world just yet for various reasons.

But, when we do, I'm worried about the backlash from my ex. She doesn't want to be a replacement mom. She just wants to be in their lives. Which honestly is more than my ex has done in a year.

I just don't know how or what to expect when she finds out. I don't want that ruining my kids anymore than it already has. And I have no fear telling her her place. She ruined one relationship, she damn well isn't ruining another.

Sorry for the rant, but this fear has been in my mind since it's been going so well
