Three days ago I discovered that my ex-husband has introduced my children to the illegitimate child that he fathered with one of his mistresses during our long marriage. I am having an emotionally difficult time digesting this news. Strangely, I found this information out when I logged onto Facebook and saw copious amounts of pictures plastered all over my 18-20 year old kids' walls with him and them in group with their father, in these "family style" impromptu portraits, along with numerous people hitting the "Like" button. I am astounded. Actually I was almost wondering if I should post this on the Depression forum, as I now feel like I am going to cross over into deep depression mode.
Their behavior seems inappropriate, almost abusive towards me and my feelings. How can they not perceive of the fact that I would not see this, and be hurt by the content? Am I expecting too much from people? I am curious.
