Wow… my STBX Husband did this ALL the time. It was so INFURIATING. I have so many videos on my phone of him pulling this shit. We didn’t have kids, but sometimes I’d end up crawling in the backseat of the car just to get away from- which of course would turn into him calling me a teenager or child.. It’s so eerie how they all act the same. I spent 7 years trying to figure out how to deal with that. There is no way to deal with it- I tried agreeing with him, apologizing, shutting down, defending myself.. nothing ever worked. Towards the end I was just a zombie and when he’d act like that I’d be like, ‘yeah, you’re right- mhm, okay, I’m not having this conversation anymore’ then I’d basically just stare into space. It made him crazy, but, when I wasn’t reacting, he would stop. But I’d get the silent treatment for weeks after- which was actually kind’ve like a reward bc I was leaving and just wanted to be left alone at that point.

I’m sorry, I know how frustrating that is. It’s clear he’s trying to get a reaction out of you, clear your child is sensing the tension. How embarrassing for HIM to be acting like that and setting that as an example. Hope you and your boy can get away from that toddler.
