I'm infuriated, but she doesn't know it yet. On Monday she remarried, the new husband has been in her, and my 6 year old son's life, for the past couple years. I respect the guy for the kindness and love he has shown my son, but at times I have felt like my role has been tread upon. I made it clear early on to him that I am an involved father and that my son doesn't need a replacement daddy, and that I'd respect his role as a stepfather in my son's life if he respected mine as his father, and it seemed that for the most part up until now we were in agreement.
This is my week for custody but she wanted him to be part of the ceremony and wedding to which I consented. Yesterday when communicating with her about what time I am picking him up I asked how he was coping with everything, she replied that he has been very good, enjoyed the wedding had fun in limo, and then she told me that she told him "now you have two daddies". She seemed to think this was not only an acceptable thing to say but that I would like hearing this. I do not. I went silent and basically said nothing only that I would pick him up at the time we discussed.
I did not react because I have to choose how, I will have my son today and for the next three weeks as she is going on her honeymoon. I plan to tell her that I have no intention of sharing the title "Dad" with any other man, I have always been my son's dad and always will be. I'm not worried about him having a stepfather too and have no intention of cutting the guy down, but I am concerned because she is dismissing the importance of my son's relationship with me.
I don't know when I should bring this up, right now vs in three weeks when they have custody again. How would other divorced dads on here handle this?
