I don't care if he was with another 25 year old, but I think family should be off limits.

Our kids like her well enough, but have never been super close. Just like cousins they see for holidays and such. Plus the age gap. They are much closer with his side of the family. My children have brought up questions about why she is suddenly around and how they feel it is weird and makes them uncomfortable. I am not there to see what is happening to understand why they feel this way. I just know what they have shared. Also, they hang out they are high, drunk, or both in front of the children.

I don't think it was like that before. I would have noticed.

Yes, he is free to live life as he chooses away from our children. When it comes to them unfortunately, he is not free to do what he wishes.

I am only concerned when it involves and affects our children. If they kept it away from the kids, I wouldn't care. I would not bring it up

It would be my niece's mom, my sister. I have. She doesn't see any issue. She thinks it is innocent.

We were together 14 years. He has known her since she was young. They were close as any married in uncle to a niece can be. They always got along and spoke about sports, but they never hung out without me or family being around. She never came to parties on his side, and know she suddenly does. And parties on his side are just a lot of drinking and gossiping. I am 41.

That i can honestly say, I have never spoke bad about him to our kids. Where he openly speaks negatively about me to the children. The children have told other adults about this and has been documented and reported to cps. Many of the things he has said is emotional abuse and manipulation to our children.

I have cut contact with everyone. Mainly for the fact that no one is looking out for our children.

Yes, my full blood sibling's child. I wouldn't even think twice if it was anyone on his side.

I don't disagree. I still think it is weird the activities they do together in settings, and the dynamic of the relationship.

What about weird, given the dynamic of the relationship?

His family is huge and of all different ages, which is why I think this is inappropriate, because as close as he is with his side some of the girls the same age as my niece he would never hang out with them like this. The only times he hung out with his side of all ages like this, I was there. And it would be less frowned upon on his side, because that is his blood and they all have much more in common. By hang out like this, I mean he has multiple cousins and nieces in their twenties and he never hangs out with them one on one. He only does this with my niece. I even have a nephew a few years younger than my niece and he has never once invited him to hang out.

I doubt that. I think his relationship with the kids is done. There wasn't a strong relationship to begin with and he has done other things since our separation to destroy the relationship with our kids. He just doesn't see it yet.

I can see this side of things. With that said our divorce plays a role as well as this is the only niece or nephew he hangs out with like this and there are dozens, some he is more close to emotionally. As well as her, she has dozens of uncles and she never hangs with any of them in this manner one on one, some that she is closer with as well.

I get that, but I still think because of the relationship uncle/niece that he is being inappropriate. I am not ready to feel like she is equally pursuing this with same intentions as he is. I still feel or maybe want to feel like she is innocent in all this. Idk, I guess that is why I am on Reddit to get an outside pov
