co-parenting

My ex has just sent me a text during his custody of our child. “Hello X, my wife and I are expecting our first child together soon. Im just letting you know as we’ve just told DC, we’ll let you know of the due date closer to the month. Thanks.” I’m quite the understanding person but I can’t...

Divorced in September. Got stuck with a shitty lawyer and ended up getting f***. In the custody of my children. Ex has on multiple occasions had the kids call me 20 minutes before pickup, was told the kids don’t want to come over because they have plans going on but she would be happy to bring...

To cut a long story short, myself and my ex husband have been divorced since 2013, we share a child together, a soon to be 12 year old boy whose awaiting testing for ADHD and Autism. For the 6 weeks holiday he went and spent 3 weeks with his Dad and his family (his Wife, and their 4 children...

Day 10 single parenting a 2.5 yr old with severe never ending "gastro" He's still vomiting and dihorrea. Hospital were hopeless and werent even sure if it was gastro after 3 days. He got it in his dads care but his dad refuses to answer any questions tells me to "piss off" for asking anything...

This is gonna be kind of rambling, bear with me, I dont have a support system and need some support/advice and just somewhere to vent. Visitation schedule: weekdays with me, weekends with dad. (did this originally because he complained that he didn't know how to deal with commuting and doing...

Maybe it’s not a big deal but it really gets under my skin. My ex keeps lying & telling our child’s providers that putting my son into headstart was HIS idea, how he diagnosed our son with speech delay, how he was the one who potty trained our son first bc the doctor “said” our son should be...

So my partner and I have been separated for about 2 months now. Not living separately but I’m sleeping in a different room. ( I am working on getting my own place but those things can take time) Ex-partner and I are on somewhat ok terms. I have my bad days where I just want to scream and rage...

My 10yr old text me saying her stepmom called her a ‘B word’ but said the ‘real word’. I guess it came after my dd and her little sister (dad&sm’s kid 5) were arguing and the little sister went to sm to tattle on dd. Dd was in her room and heard sm say “don’t play with dd, she’s being a...

I’ll try and keep this brief. I’ll also preface this by saying I understand I’m still grieving the loss of my chance at 50/50 custody, so I may be coloring my kid’s words with my own personal feelings for their mother. Backstory: When my kids (newly 5F, almost 6M) were 4 months & 1y, their mom...

My ex and I share 50/50 time of our 2 kids (7m and 4f) and she has legal custody. Our son is getting a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy over spring break and will be out of school for two weeks and will of course need constant supervision, which is all easily doable with our normal 3-3-4-4...

I have custody, bio dad has visitations that I have been very lenient on for multiple reasons. But some of the things he complains about are the fact that I don’t alert him everytime our 6 year old goes to a grandparents, or friends house. Which is legit not very often. There are times when mimi...

Sorry this is long…. My ex and I share a toddler. We’re high/very limited contact conflict and I’ve just had to file in court to try to get our informal agreement made legally binding…. They weren’t happy I filed. Today I get the usual handover email and a bit at the bottom to say ‘I’ll be...

Her sister works for a toy company and has used my 6 y/o son's image without my consent, for a toy listed on Amazon, and it's been there for 7~ months. I try to be vigilant about publishing his pictures online but now countless strangers can now see this pic of him. Not sure if I have cause to...

Looking for advice and I’m spilling the beans I guess. My coparent(CP) and I were together for a total of 7 years. Met in college, had a baby, got engaged & then they cheated in the absolute worst ways (with an ex, SW’s, co-workers, etc). I called off the engagement and never looked back. For...
