Navigating Custody Fears: Is My Ex Trying to Take My Kids?

I could really use some advice right now. My ex and I separated about a year ago, and we’re still working through the divorce. We share two wonderful kids, one of whom has special needs. Both of us have moved on—he’s with someone new, and I’m in a relationship as well. When we first went to mediation, I agreed (though I wasn’t thrilled) that he’d have the kids three nights a week. But after a while, I changed the arrangement to just Thursday and Friday nights, plus one Saturday overnight a month. Now, my ex wants a 50/50 split and says the kids would love it, but they haven’t mentioned it to me. He’s living in a small apartment, and I worry he’s trying to become the main parent. He’s now taking me to court for more time, and I feel lost and anxious. Has anyone been through this? Should I agree to 50/50 or stand my ground? Please share your thoughts below—any advice would mean so much right now. #coparenting #custodyadvice #singlemom #FamilyRelationships

My Grandchild Calls Someone Else 'Grandma'... Ouch! 😢

I never thought being a single mom would come with so many emotional twists. My ex-husband barely showed up for our daughter, and his new wife was never kind to her. Fast forward to today—my daughter just had her first baby, and suddenly her dad is the picture-perfect grandpa, always around. What stings the most? My grandson calls my ex’s wife 'granny.' I told my daughter how much it hurts, but she just asked if I wanted her to choose between me and her dad. Now, I feel like an outsider in my own family, desperate to connect with my grandson but not sure how. Has anyone else felt replaced or left out in their own family? I’d love to hear your stories—maybe we can help each other through this. 💔 #FamilyStruggles #GrandparentLife #SingleMom #FamilyRelationships

is my boyfriend really ditching me at the hospital because he has a secret wife?

I’m freaking out and need some advice. I’m 23 and about to have my first baby any day now. My boyfriend, who’s 37, just dropped a huge bomb on me. He told me he can’t be there when I give birth… because he’s actually married. I had no clue. I feel so betrayed and confused. We’ve been together for over a year. He always said he was busy with work or family, but I never thought it was because he had a whole other life. Now I’m about to do this alone, and I don’t know how to process everything. I feel stupid for not seeing the signs. Has anyone else gone through something like this? How do I even start to move forward? I’m scared and angry, and I just want to do what’s best for my baby. Any advice or support would mean a lot right now. relationshipadvice #singlemom #betrayed #pregnancy #supportneeded #relationshipadvice #singlemom #betrayed #pregnancy #supportneeded #RomanticRelationships
