My ex husband, who is really not my ex because we have not divorced, and I have been seperated for about 6 years. I don't know why we have not divorced yet. Maybe we are both too cheap. My ex began dating a girl about 4-5 years ago (yes, she is about 10 years younger than I, but I am ok with that) and they moved in together after about a year of dating. My ex and I have one child, a son, who is 8 years old. My son and the girlfriend get along well and he really likes her. We all do things together like birthdays, holidays, sport matches etc., together and she comes with my ex to my home every now and then when my ex drops off or picks up my son. My problem now is that my ex and his girlfriend just had a new baby boy. My son was his dad's only child and his paternal grandmothers only grandchild and I am feeling jealous and sad about the new baby. I don't know if it is because the relationship with my ex will now change and it is the finality of our marriage or is it that I am sad my son is no longer the center of attention. His dad and grandma have a new baby that they both will see a lot and my son they will see when my ex picks him up once a week. How do I get past this sadness and embrace this new baby into the family. My son has been waiting for a new baby brother and he is very excited and I want to be excited with him. Even my mom is excited about the new baby, she thinks this will give a new grandchild to spoil (she currently has 3)
