Hey y'all. I'm new here, and was brought by concern for my boyfriends child. His ex (the child's mom) allows his 2 y/o son to refer to her bf as "daddy T" and my by (his bio dad) as "daddy J." My bf "J" (*names abbreviated for privacy*) and I have repeatedly asked her to disallow this and correct his son in the future. The child custody judge also admonished her for encouraging this, but didn't put in any court order to have her stop. It's been going on now for over 18 months and continues.

I'm curious about the damage that could occur for this "daddy confusion." j has a very active role in his sons life and wants to be supportive as possible, as do I.
