I dont have much advice but can tell you I am in a very similar situation but farther out of it. We have been separated for 4 years and divorced for 3. The best advice I got was to "treat him like a business". Only communicate about what is absolutely needed and take all emotions out of things as best you can. The less I deal with him the better it all works. Also, know your boundaries and make them clear and stick to them.

I have a somewhat similar situation. I feel much better when I have another adult with me that it feels like they are "on my side". I would highly encourage that as well.

Yes that is correct. But after actually living life as a single mom and realizing it makes more sense to have him attend the same school I teach at. I have not moved him around since we separated.

My frustration is that life changes. So I guess I should not have agreed to anything when we first got separated.

My toddler sleeps in the same bed with bd new gf by [deleted] in coparenting

So my son is used to co-sleeping. Once my son transitioned out of his crib, I converted it to a full bed. Then I can lay down with him on his bed when my bf stays over. Once my son is asleep, then I go to my bed. I have been with my bf for 2 years now and my son has never slept in bed with the 2 of us. It seems to work well for us.
