Last weekend when I had my girls my youngest (4) told me that momma said I dont take care of them and that just blew my mind and broke my heart. I didnt know what to say to her so I asked my oldest(9) if in fact she had said that and she confirmed it. I didnt say anything else to my girls about it. My problem is how do I bring it up to my ex without being confrontational? I dont want to put my girls into the position where my ex is mad at them for telling me that because I know she will get on them about it. Its tearing me up inside and I just want to rip her a new one but I wont do it because my girls dont need to be put through that.

I personally wouldn't address my ex. I would talk to the children to see how they felt about it.

Yeah, that has got to be hard to hear. Depending how your ex is, there may be no way to bring it up without being confrontational. I think I'd start with asking how the kids feel about what their mom said. She could be trying to impression them to believe that, and as long as they don't believe it, leave the issue to yourself for now.

Thats where I'm torn because I know its not true but the fact that she is saying that about me in front of the kids |
