My Husband of 5 Years Now Identifies As a Woman and He Wants Mother Day
Hi. I’m not sure how to post, but I’d appreciate it if you could post this anonymously for me, please. Thank you.
My husband told me after 5 years of marriage (7 years of being together) that he wants to be a woman (GAY). We tried to make it work for 2 years, but it just didn’t work.We are divorcing and fighting about visitation. I have residential custody, and we share 50/50 legal custody. I have my son Monday at 7am–Sunday at noon. His other parents have him on Sunday at noon overnight until Monday at 7am before school.
Regarding holidays, we are doing the typical every-other-year thing. One year I get Christmas, then the next year I get Thanksgiving and Easter. My ex always has Memorial Day, and I always have July 4.
The problem is Mother’s Day. My ex believes that they are entitled to every other Mother’s Day because they now identify as women. I maintain that that shouldn’t matter and that I should get it every Mother’s Day because I am my child’s biological mother.
I agreed to every other if and only if he would give me every Father’s Day, figuring that I’d just celebrate Mother’s Day on Father’s Day. My ex wants every Father’s Day because that’s stipulated for them…
