What can you do about an ex-husband that brainwashes the children into believing you don't love them because you're getting remarried and your ex uses the Bible as his truth in what he is telling them?

Answer 1

This is sad, but it happens often with ex's. One or the other becomes bitter and unfortunately that ex knows how to deal with the other ex .... through the children. Please see your local Minister, Pastor, etc., and sit down with your children and yourself and try to straighten things out. This is going to take time and if the man you are going to marry is a good guy, and you have custody of your children or even visitation rights, then time will heal. Believe! Be Strong! If you feel that your ex is being psychologically abusive to your children, then you can report this and seek out a lawyer and try to get full custody of your children and hopefully the courts will have your ex go for some psychological counseling. Your ex has every right to believe in his faith, but he doesn't have the right to use that faith to get back at you through the children. This is a sin in itself! Good luck God Bless Marcy It's interesting the answer above doesn't address how and why you are divorced. It focuses on one side of the issue and assumes everything you have done is of the highest character. I have seen that that rarely is the case. You have made a choice to get divorced. I know it would be nice to not have to deal with the consequences of that decision, but guess what, this is all part of the "fun" of divorce. Recognizing that your are at least partially responsible for this situation is a good starting point. Making any possible amends with your ex is the next thing to try. If that doesn't work out, then I would suggest a good counselor. There is no easy answer or quick fix to this. That was then this is now. People divorce for all sorts of reasons and I none of us missed the concept of what this person was saying. It's this simple .. they got divorced and have shared custody of the children. The main thing is the children come first. I have seen this sort of thing before and it's not right that either partner (no matter how bad one of the ex's is) to belittle "mom and dad" to the children. However, you can hardly expect her to sit by while he is "Bible punching" untruths to his children and trying to turn them away from her. Children are innocent and the separation is difficult enough without all the rest of this going on. Now the children are completely confused. I do agree that both ex's should seek counseling for the sake of the children.
