Woman Puts Secret Cameras In Ex-Husband’s Home When His New Girlfriend Moves In In Order To Protect Her Daughter

Dude needs to tell Adam. I don't care if he likes him or not he needs to know. Then file for divorce. She has probably bugged his phone, and GPS tracks him. She is what I will call a wackadoodle.

RUN, boy, RUN! Tell Adam and run from this toxic relationship. You are treated like a NPC, like a side character. See how Claire was happy Adam remained single, but there was no problem she got in a relationship and got married? Pfff

Screw it. Call the police and report her. Maybe being arrested will provide the necessary proof that what she is doing is illegal

Clair doesn't sound like she's that nice to you calling you a coward. You're not a coward. You did the right thing.

OP your wife and her mother are abusing you and possibly your stepdaughter. Harassment and secret recording are both highly illegal. You sound like a good man and not a coward at all. Divorce that trash!

So what happened?? Did he tell Adam? Did she back down? Did he stay with this horrible woman? Geez

Control freak.

Hoo boy. This feels familiar. My family had a GPS/tracker secretly and illegally installed on one of our employee's PERSONAL vehicles (the employee was my disabled dad's nighttime caregiver). My family uses it to literally spy on where the employee is, whenever they feel like checking up on him. He isn't even our employee any more (my dad died last year). I've debated whether I should tell the guy or not - I have a lot of bad blood with this employee, including the fact that he videotaped me in the shower once (my sister saw the video) and he was always trying to peep on me while naked/sleeping - and nope, my mom didn't fire him or anything, she took HIS side and told me she didn't want to hear about it any more. So I'm not sure whether I give a flip about him knowing he's STILL being tracked, a year after my dad died.

I thought this was gonna be about how new gf is abusive and the mom needs proof. No, this is being controlling. Nta

This guy seems derpy. Get out dude. The killer is in the house.

She seems a little obsessed with the ex. It seems as though she was happy while he was single but now doesn't like that there is another significant other in his ( and their daughters ) life. Jealousy? Insecurity? Or control issues? Either way she doesn't want another woman involved with the daughter or the ex. Maybe she's not over the split or maybe it's a case of "I can move on but you can't "

Claire doesn't want Adam but also doesn't want anyone else to have him. This woman is unhinged. She's so controlling and frankly nutty that she doesn't seem to care that she could be in serious legal trouble and go to jail. Which wouldn't that mean the daughter would spend even more time with the girlfriend? Claire gives no damns about her husband's feelings and the life they have together. She's domineering and the OP should run for the hills. NTA if he tells the ex YTA if he doesn't tell the ex.

Wow. Setting aside that I want to know what happened next... Since most of the daughter's things are there, it sounds like Adam has primary custody. If Claire's got a key, presumably Adam still trusted her. Claire is invading their privacy, and depending where the cameras are located potentially in the daughter's bedroom (first big nope) and communal living areas, potentially capturing intimate footage between Adam and his girlfriend when the daughter is not around (second big nope). OP should have told Adam immediately, but since he didn't Adam should get a lawyer and either direct to Adam or the police to inform them, and then put some distance between himself and both Claire & MIL. Hopefully OP will be able to keep some contact with his stepdaughter if this offers the little girl some stability.

Dude. Tell Adam, change the locks and remove the cameras. When she shows up to scream at you, call the cops, present the evidence, and have her arrested. Then RUN. You're better off without all the drama.

Did Adam have issues with you? If he didn't and accepted your role in his daughters life you owe him the same respect.

Don't want your ex to date because your worried that he might date a crazy woman and don't want her for your step-Mom? Maybe Mom need to look in the mirror! She is the crazy one! Keys to your Ex home!!! Glad that your ex has not moved on yet you meet someone else and your seem happy about this! Your a crazy B!!!!! Go seek mental health lady please before you hurt someone you care about! Yet this place feels domestic abuse on a man for revenge is alright! Even if the person had to go to he hospital!

Not only will your, I hope, your soon to be ex wife end up in jail, she could very easily lose custody of her child due to the harassment. Judges frown on cray cray

You'd think if her daughter was so important to her she would not risk significant jail time doing something like this. The reality of this is it has nothing to do with her daughter and everything to do with her anger towards her ex and jealousy towards his SO. She can't stand to think he's happy. This is some deeply sick stuff going on and I really hope he tells the guy. Sounds like that is what will happen. If that is the case then good for him.

Hahaha the ex very pleased that her ex-hubby doesn't have a girlfriend is sooo familiar. 😂 Anyways, it's your call, OP. Everything is messed up here. Tell Adam and leave that wife before everyone points at you, worst case scenario. Crazy b***h 😂

Where I live, it is legal. They share custody and are allowed to "stalk" their children to ensure they are safe. It's the parent's responsibility to make sure their child is safe. I don't trust my ex-husband's wife, as there have been too many incidents of mistrust. For instance he was moving into a place that had a pool I asked him if there was a pool fence around the pool? The answer was "yes." I went over, and there was NO pool fence. I could have cared less what or who he was with; I walked in the unlocked back door and went to make sure my son was ok. They did not wake up while I was in the house, therefore would they have known if my son got up? I could not take my son with me sat crying on the back porch, as I did not have a car; otherwise I would have gone to jail for custodial interference. I did not have my phone on me, I walked to a pay phone and called the cops, ask them to do a well fair check they refused as the pool was grandfathered in the law. I did not care my child's safety came first; lying to me to and keeping secrets makes for lack of trust. All the cameras in the world would not have pulled him out of the pool should he have gotten up and fallen in. I do not have cameras on them they have cameras on me and law enforcement, lawyers can't do anything about it and have me constantly stalked. They have made my life hell, but lying 2 me about something so simple as a pool fence builds mistrust. Advice build trust, do minor trust test. They fail get full custody. You can not legally use the camera footage in court anyways, therefore this women has issues, but she does have a right to know her child is safe.

We need an update!!!

For the questions about why an ex has a key, with shared custody, my ex wife had my key and I had hers for years. Neither took advantage of it, though. It was just a convenient thing for if the kid forgot something and needed to get it, until she was old enough to have her own key. That said, the thing that strikes me about this is simply that if the values of the person you're dating conflict with yours, that's generally a deal breaker. You can have different opinions, different ideas, different strengths, but values need to be in pretty close alignment for a relationship to work. Her values and reactions say she's not someone anyone reasonable should be involved with... She's WAY beyond controlling, here, and has no problem stepping right into criminal stalking.

1, the poster is married to the mom and obviously for a while which brings into question how long they had been in a relationship before he met the stepdaughter and moving in and marrying. 2, Didn't the poster realise how his wife was before they married which makes me very concerned because now it sounds like she is crazy. Yes, she is entitled to be concerned about the girlfriend however cameras aren't the way to show it. For introducing new partners I say 6 months of getting to know each other before introducing to any children from previous relationships. This means in 8 months the dad has had 6 months to get to know the girlfriend but only 8 weeks for the daughter to get to know the potential stepmom before moving in together? Seems a bit fast.

There are most certainly cameras in his own house. There is a keylogger on his computer.
