A woman has refused to encourage her children to consider her ex-partner’s new wife as their mother. The woman and her ex separated due to multiple issues, including his close relationship with a woman named Emily. According to the woman, Emily was hostile towards her and pretended to be her ex’s wife at work functions.

After the couple separated, the ex started a relationship with Emily, who reportedly became more hostile when she realized that the man’s family still liked his ex. The woman claims that Emily has been verbally abusive towards her and has even shown signs of parental alienation.

Recently, Emily has been pressuring the woman’s children to consider her as their mother, which the woman has refused to encourage. The situation escalated when Emily demanded the children take photos with her for their school newsletter, and they refused, stating that she was not their mother.

The woman’s ex and Emily have accused her of being a bad parent and teaching her children to disrespect women. The woman now seeks judgment from Reddit on whether she is in the wrong. Read on for the reactions and comments on the situation.
