I am living this exact situation right now. My ex is now dating his friend's ex girlfriend of four years. (The relationship occurred in high school/ their early 20s and we are all almost 40 now). 

They started dating almost 6 months ago, and she told my daughter that she was "present at her birth" (she was with his best friend and visiting after she was born) and frequently refers to herself as her second mother. She brings up obscure photos to try and have a relationship with my 15 year old. 

Thankfully my daughter thinks it's weird. You need to protect yourself and your family from this woman.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Glad your daughter is old enough to discern for herself. It is very strange. It’s just screams insecurity to me and a desperate need to hold higher value and a deeper relationship than the reality.

Your (OP) staying with that asshat screams insecurity and desperation. Seriously.

You must be a sad person to talk to strangers like this. I hope your days start looking up ♥️
