Ex’s New Flame Becomes My Son’s Travel Buddy… Seriously? 😅

So, here’s my reality: my ex wants to take our teenage son on a week-long trip abroad—with the woman he cheated on me with. I get it, my son deserves time with his dad, and I’d never stand in the way of that. But honestly, watching him play happy family with the person who broke ours apart feels like a punch in the gut every time. I know my ex is mostly to blame, but it’s hard not to resent her, especially since she’s never shown any real care for my kids. I tried to talk boundaries with my ex, but he’s impossible—completely self-absorbed and just shuts me out. Meanwhile, my son is stuck in the middle, and I can see how much it hurts him, too. How do you let go of control and find peace when everything feels so unfair? If you’ve been here, I’d love to hear how you handled it. Sometimes I just need to know I’m not alone in this mess. 🥲 #FamilyDrama #CoParenting #BlendedFamilies #FamilyRelationships
