@intend You need that custody order. High conflict coparenting is stressful enough without the added complication of addiction. It's best for you and best for your child.

@jham123 Stay off her socials. Stop doing background checks. Trust your coparent to be a good father to his child and extend to him the courtesy of staying out of his private life.

@4lifephotography You don't. Not with an ex like that. You parallel-parent and ensure communication is solely about the kids. You remove all emotion from it, and you put up hard boundaries and stick to them. Emotionally manipulative people thrive when you feed them your emotions. Keep everything...

@jd14234 We would wash whatever LO came over in, and send them back in it. Otherwise we'd never see some clothes again. I know that the clothes are all for the kids, but when you've bought the nicer stuff, and they get sent in really cheap crap, it does get frustrating. Sending them in the same...
