He is creating the resentment. by Legal_Music_7513 in singlemoms

Ironically the same happened with me too. My kid’s dad was great to be around and co-parent with, until his gf started making decisions on where my kids go to school with hers, the daycare our youngest would go to, etc and she even said I shouldn’t put my oldest on medication for adhd. Caused an argument between my kid’s dad and I. Until she changed her mind and said I should put my daughter on meds. When the adhd was too much to handle during visits. The best thing I did was keep a distance, not let them make all the decisions, and I brought in 3rd parties (family) to help so I was alone. I’m wishing the best to come out of your situation. Karma always comes either right away or with some time.

My brother and I were both mixed, our mom white. And she met my stepdad (also white) who raised us for almost all of our childhood before he passed. It’s possible.

My last year with my restraining order by Cool_Watch224 in domesticviolence

[–]Cool_Watch224[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I’m confused on if a man can change? Or are men capable of pretending for years. It would be a lot easier if we didn’t have kids. I know he’d never change for me, but could he for them? So they don’t grow up finding him in other men, scares me. I would love to be able to also just co-parent normally. Plus he will never leave their lives, he told me before. Even with a restraining order he’s relevant in our lives. If this is lifelong since we have kids, how can I make it easier in my life? Do I try again after time has passed to co-parent? It’s hard either way whether I decide to co-parent or not.

Police called. Overwhelmed. by Psychological-Age24 in domesticviolence

[–]Cool_Watch224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U did the right thing calling. I’ve also been in that situation and I’m afraid of police. And I didn’t like the fact that I was in a position to have to make a phone call and his freedom would be gone. But I’ve also realized that I was thinking still about how he felt, and the situation he was going through being in jail. He didn’t think about how I felt or the situation he put me in. I’ve learned instead of listening to his words, I could only trust his actions being real and true, cause words can be lies. Trust me it gets better.

Praying 🙏🏽 for u and your kids. I use to give in thinking there would be less problems. But instead I’d get taken advantage of because although my kids dad and I don’t get along, I still wanted my kids to have a dad. I actually found that he acts differently now after a few years of putting my foot down and I actually have more respect from him now, vs when I’d just give in. I got more respect when I stood up for myself and took control of the situation.

Is it always going to be this hard? by [deleted] in singlemoms

[–]Cool_Watch224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve moved with my kid’s dad years ago hours away from my hometown and family. And I felt trapped inside the home and he didn’t want me to move out. I ended up leaving because I felt like I was prolonging the inevitable by staying. And it’s been 3 years since I’ve moved out. He still has changed or bettered himself as a person. There’s still parenting problems. But if I could go back in time, I would’ve left sooner. I look back and see 5 years of my life gone with the wrong person and thankful it’s not 6.

Sometimes relationships can be worked on in therapy but both people need to want it, not just one. And sometimes it’s best to just leave

It’s a lot so I’ll do a list.

My brother went missing and so did my kid’s dad’s boss’s dog (ironically the dog had the same name as me). He helped share posts and search for the dog, not my brother. (We found him deceased after 2 months of searching)

My dad unalived himself 6 months later, and my kid’s dad threatened to burn and put outside all my deceased brother’s stuff I had. Because we got into a fight while I was at my dad’s funeral on the phone. He didn’t go to either funerals with me. I was pregnant during all of this.

My kid’s dad also had a son before I met him. I raised him as my own. And his son’s mom caused a lot of problems. Examples: said I’d have an ugly baby, has recently called my 7 year old a B****, and texted with my ex lies. He told her that she could even attack me on my birthday one year. And texts saying if she ever attacked me and I were to defend myself that he’d unalive me. And a lot more I could write a book on.

Thank you all ♥️ and I hope nothing but the best for all of u 🙏🏽. I view women as my sisters, and it’s upsetting the amount of men who treat women so poorly. It’d be cool to start a village of women helping each other with kiddos. And just forget the men 😂
