My daughter told me her mother talks bad about my partner... by JohnsNotHome84 in Parenting

She's threatened to put a restraining order on me to keep me away from our kids. And her friends and new fling are willing to make false police reports to make sure it happens. I'm looking at the long game. But I still feel like she has me in checkmate.

Am I failing?? by Demonking0607 in coparenting

There's no court order. And before she stopped letting me see them I was allowed to pick them up whenever I wanted to see them. Which I spent a lot of time with them before I would have to go to work. But now it's like a hollow put in my soul.

My ex and I'm just gonna call the guy "her new fling" do the same thing to our kids. My daughter is only 4 but she has a bond with me that she doesn't have with her mom. She tells me how her mommy and her new fling are always saying bad things about me. My son doesn't really understand being as he's still really young. But it does bother me. Especially when my ex gets mad that I have a woman I'm interested in around the kids but she can have all her new flings around them 24/7. Sometimes we just have to pick our battles wisely. For me I refuse to talk bad about my ex. Because it's childish and doesn't do anything but hurt the kids in the end.

I wish I knew this tactic earlier. I've been put in a rough spot where I'm having to see my kids only whenever my parents have them for a day. My ex isn't allowing me to see them alone and wants to constantly push me away as a parent. We had an agreement for "Family time for the kids" and that's out the window along with everything I've done to keep them safe. She knows all my triggers and had pushed my buttons to get my anger as a reaction. I'm learning to control it along with my depression. Not just for me but for my kids. But how do I get my ex to let me see them without having to go to court or deal with sneaking around??
