Hi Kaye. My husband left 17 months ago, so similar time to you. My children do see their dads girlfriend, but it took time as my son refused at first. He was 13 at the time so old enough to know what was happening and would not go in the house if she was there. Ironically, it was me who persuaded him - told him that he was making out that she was important. He finally agreed, but even now they do not get on/like each other. Being a teenager (nearly 15) he just grunts at her - like a Kevin. I know how you must be feeling. I don't think she is worthy of spending time with my kids, but they do need to see their dad, and whether I like it or not, she comes as part of the package. PM me if you want a chat, Take care Anne
