Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Deprivation of character

I am wondering what I can do to get my ex-husband's new wife to stop telling or discussing things about me and my past with my children. I have an 11 year old daughter and an 8 year old son and they are coming home with me on my nights and asking me about things that an 11 and 8 year old should not know about. Specifically, I had an abortion about 10 years ago, and she has told my children that I have killed a baby. Now again things are being asked and said about me and a decision that I made 10 years ago that was best for me and my family. She also makes comments to my children about my current relationship, because I am involved with another woman. I believe that her comments, questions, and remarks are causing issues with the children and with me. I have to constantly explain things that I shouldn't have to explain to my children, or at least should be mine to explain at a time that I think they should know or can handle the topic. I also think that it is causing issues with the children not knowing who to trust or believe and causing them to form opinions about me and issues. Please help. I want to know how to stop her the proper way.

Clearly, these are not issues to be discussed with children. You do have options but I need to know more about your specific circumstances. Feel free to call if you would like to discuss more in-depth.
