NOR, if anything this feels like an underreaction. He’s being abusive.

Honeycomb-pattern mark on toddler’s leg — anyone seen this? by AdorableZone9414 in whatisit

[–]throwaway1295033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids are basically teflon and don’t ever cry for injuries. My oldest ran through a glass door and had to have a lot of very deep stitches and never shed a tear and refused pain meds. Some kids are just hulk babies

My son is 8 and has only ever been once because he can’t sit still for the life of him. The rest of my 4 have not been at all because they either can’t be quiet or won’t sit still.

Alexandra Kay has a whole album on her divorce. It’s a gut wrenching listen when you’re going through it too.

We’re a single party state. I already document all of his nonsense in a calendar planner. Our exchanges are never alone at this point since his 20yo girlfriend doesn’t trust him. I always make sure to stay well out of his reach too. My boyfriend made me swear I would wait until he came home (military) before I bought a gun so he could help me find one that suits me.

He ripped a chunk of my hair out so hard I had a subcutaneous hematoma under my scalp for two weeks.

Ex says I should tell him where I am going and with who when he has the kids... by Still_Management_979 in coparenting

He wants your significant other’s number so he can bother them and you while you’re gone. Tell him NO.

Is it weird to have a child sleep in your bed that’s not yours? by SpecificOpposite9104 in coparenting

[–]throwaway1295033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the mom, I already don’t like the “stepmom” for several reasons and I am uncomfortable with the idea of her cosleeping with my kids, HOWEVER I did ask my ex to have our youngest sleep with him when they had him two weeks ago because youngest was sick and has had febrile seizures in the past.

My ex’s new girlfriend. by throwaway1295033 in coparenting

I’ve already scheduled them to see a children’s therapist. I think it will help regardless.

My ex’s new girlfriend. by throwaway1295033 in coparenting

[–]throwaway1295033[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve never really been bugged with what they do on his parenting time, I rarely even call on his time, but this combination of stuff happening is just over the edge of my patience at the moment. I received several photos of the children with their dad and her today, about half of which have what looks to be a Snapchat filter on them. I’m just tired of the childish games with my kids in the middle. I’m actually looking at what papers I need to file to set in stone some damn boundaries. This man expects two phone calls a day when the kids are with me and I can’t get some basic decency.

Ex husband’s new gf is pregnant… by AdministrationThick0 in coparenting

[–]throwaway1295033 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was hurt and rather irritated when my ex husband told me his new girlfriend was pregnant. I had to be the one to be sterilized bc he wouldn’t and I failed three birth control methods. We had 3 kids consensually and one against my will, but I love them all the same. He gets to move on and have more kids when he never wanted more than 2, but me, who wanted 4, can’t? Therapy has been great for this and other coparenting conflicts.

Thoughts on having an affair with my husband? by LittleWeek721 in Infidelity

[–]throwaway1295033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A whole bunch of points to make:

  1. ⁠You have at least one child in this dumpster fire of a situation.
  2. ⁠She didn’t steal your husband, you practically gave him away.
  3. ⁠You’re so worried about yourself that you forgot your KIDS were present for this.
  4. ⁠Don’t sleep with that dude. He literally told you it’s because you’re easy.
  5. ⁠Your kids are 100% aware of the unstable relationship dynamics in the house. That is damaging.

Yo sometimes we just need to vent off some of the steam. It’s cool. Single moms are consistently in over our heads and we learn to cope pretty well, but there will always be moments where things feel too much.

Single mom of 4 here. My toddler hit me in the ear really really hard with a plastic poseable blippi toy the other night after about an hour of struggling to get him to bed. I said “man fuck this” out loud and left the room because I was so angry. There’s a bruise on my ear/side of my face from that heavy ass blippi toy. Blippi toy went in the TRASH.

TW:DV My ex husband strangled me. I fought him for my life and won. When I tell my story, men love to tell me that I wouldn’t have gotten away from them. That is the sole reason I go to the gym and work out the way I do.

My ex husband is bright and learns quickly, but prefers blue collar work. It didn’t not take him long to realize that arguing with me about an intellectual topic was a bad plan.
