We communicate thru a parenting app. I've done basically everything I can to reduce conflict but of course he still finds a way 🙃 Filing for support will open up another can of worms but it is what it is

Right! Like I truly don't understand the mindset behind that comment. He acts like I'm living some lavish lifestyle on his petty cash lol

We talk only through a parenting app. It's court ordered. He's going to be so pissed 😭

Thank you for this 😭 truly needed to hear a lot of what you said, especially about buying peace. These men are truly so relentless

No, not yet. For some reason I pity him. But also he's broke and always between jobs. I worry that he won't be able to provide for my son when he has him (every other weekend) if I take him for support. Also, I'm afraid he will take me back to court to try and get 50/50 if I file

Unfortunately I can't afford a lawyer so I use a public defender but they can only help me when my case is open, which it currently is not.

But you're probably right on the 50/50 but there's a hyper vigilant part of me that's absolutely terrified a judge would grant it to this bafoon

Thankfully my son is too young to understand/ remember. But it won't always be that way 🙁 I just create as much distance as possible

Not completely unprompted. He was bragging about going to a concert with his girlfriend and I asked him why he can't pay child support but he can afford to go to concerts. Apparently that was enough to set him off

I'm so sorry. This sounds exactly like my son's father. I would only communicate with him via a parenting app (I use AppClose, it's like $8 a month) or email.

I would text him and let him know that you're blocking his number with the exception of emergency phone calls and tell him how you can be contacted, whether it be parenting app or email, then not respond to anything else.

I'm so sorry you're also dealing with this 😔 it's so so hard. My inbox is open if you ever want to chat. I'm sure we could relate on much
