Are there any other girlfriends / boyfriends of transgender persons who have an ex wife / husband and children?
I see plenty of posts about marriages and how to handle that during a marriage.. But not much in the way of those of us who are the new partner after a marriage has ended (partially or mostly due to a transition)

I am dating Kate who is m2f. It's early days. She has 2 children and so do I.
My partner is MTF and we have been together for a year and a half. I have a son from a previous relationship. He is only 6 and has only ever seen her as a woman and now calls her Mama. His Dad and his Dad's family have never asked questions but they've only been around each other a couple of times. My son has always been very accepting and loving and has never really questioned me being with a woman. I am very concerned about when he gets older with other children teasing him or with his friends' parents not being accepting and not allowing their children to play with him. These thoughts give me great anxiety [emoji26]

Hopefully, they won't. I watched 'Fosters' on Netflix and that seemed as a wonderful model to have same-sex relationships and raise children.
Granted it's just a movie, and it showing San Diego (not Bible belt) and both mothers have a solid status in their community...

Yeah... that's just a few major problems [emoji23]

I'm a brand new girlfriend. She's divorced (a while back) but wasn't coparenting.
I'm newly divorced with two kids who will be resistant to any new person in my life.
Ironically, my gender noncomforming daughter, 13, will give me the most ->-bleeped-<-.

My fiancé is a mtf and I have one daughter from a previous marriage who is 11. She loves her stepmom to be with her whole heart and supports who she is. Her dad doesn't know yet as my partner isn't out yet. So far, though, so good.
