How to deal with hostile ex and co-parent
Hi All,
Do you have any tips on how to deal with an ex-partner who I share a male three year old child with? Has anybody here dealt with a separated partner before?
My ex-partner does not want any communication. I currently see my son one weekend per month at a contact centre. It has been awful dealing with false accusations during the custody process.
Do you know if over time things change with ex-partners?

I don't have any specific experience with this, but just want to say that my heart goes out to you.
I thought I'd tag some people who might be able to offer some words of wisdom, firstly @Appleblossom and also some of our community guides @Anastasia @AussieRecharger @BPDSurvivor @Faith-and-Hope @HenryX @jem80 @Judi9877 @NatureLover @outlander @Shaz51 @ShiningStar @Snowie @Hams @wellwellwellnez @Zoe7 @Aniela @Boo13 @maddison @pinklollipop15 @Eve7

Sadly I have had experience with such things from 1986 til now. @Rabbitohs2022
Little boys need their dads, to grow into effective men.
Life is complicated.
Each situation is unique.
Take Care

I'm so sorry that you are experiencing this, false accusations from controlling ex, it's very hard for you as a parent the mother. Your heartache and worry is valid.
I have experienced a difficult parenting journey with a NPD & BPD ex and he is very vindictive. I advise you to always trust your maternal instincts, follow self- care and stay strong so you can keep advocating for your child.
Make a plan of how to change this situation for you and your boy, there is alot of help available and I think things can get only get better for you soon :))
