I also live in NJ and every time i get my kids in to see a therapist my ex sabotages it. I am going to court in 2 weeks to try to have the court mandate counseling for my kids. My daughter literally begs me to see a therapist. It is a never ending battle. My ex is very manipulative. He is only allowed to communicate with me in writing due to his abusive language. This cuts down on some of the abuse. But he still manages to lecture me and accuse me of everything under the sun through email. I save all of the emails in case he actually does take me to court as he threatens me on a regular basis with it. It is a living hell. I feel like a child with a bully constantly following me around. my family tries to help, but i dont think they completely understand I am going through a very similar situation to Kristen.

To be honest, talking with his ex is not going to get you anywhere. You can certainly try though and see what happens. I’m sorry you are going through a rough time.

Self-awareness is a great trait for a co-parent to possess. It's always so easy to point at the other parent's flaws and not acknowledge that we all bring a mixed bag of traits to the table.

At our worst, I am too rigid and he is plain detached and unavailable. My goal is to be more stable and predictable to balance out the unknowns at his place. At our best, we balance each other well.

It sounds like exactly the relationship between me and my ex. I'm stiff and educational too. But he's the one who complains that they never listen to him or follow his (lax) rules.

However, my ex and I have a two month old. His girlfriend doesn't like the fact that he has a new born and I don't like the fact that my daughter's father is okay with this. There is nothing i can do about it, because my ex and his girlfriend continue to live together and build a relationship knowing his girlfriend is not happy with things how they are. He and i argued about this and he is putting everything on me. Saying that i'm being childish and immature. His ex has come to grips with the baby and is dealing with the situation maturely and that I need to do the same thing. my ex has three older kids from a previous relationship so they can all speak up for themselves if anything were to happen. His new girlfriend has a two year old son that he is helping raise and has only seen our daughter 10 times in two months and it's my fault. Seeing the new girlfriend isn't going anywhere EVER (he says) i decided to reach out to her and asked her to go to lunch with me so she and i could sit down and address our concerns mother to mother, woman to woman. If my daughter was older i would not have done this just let them live their lives and move on, but the fact that i have a new born and the new girlfriend and i are both unhappy with what is going on and they are avid about moving forward I need to know where her mind is. It's like my daughter's father is just ready to move on with both of us being uneasy and has the attitude that she is dealing with it best she can and so should l. I felt that wasn't resolving anything. To get to the point...was that the proper move? I feel more comfortable speaking with the girlfriend and she knowing where i stood and how i felt and I her...Feed back is greatly appreciated I f’ound this article to be very helpful.

]]> Comment on Co-Parenting ABCs: Boyfriends and Child Custody Laws 101 by Jreco http://coparenting101.org/2009/06/co-parenting-abcs-boyfriends-and-child-custody-laws-101/comment-page-1/#comment-7544 Jreco Sat, 21 Jan 2012 02:17:36 +0000 http://coparenting101.org/?p=328#comment-7544 So, I have been divorced for long over a year now, my boyfriend and I are very serious and we have discussed moving in together, my ex and I have had several arguments over this kind of situation where as he has moved in with two different girls already. My ex husband does not like my new boyfriend for no reason, he won't even try to get to know him. My new boyfriend is a great guy he's hard working and good to me and my child. He has a clear background and I really think it would be good for us to take the next step but legally I don't know what I can and can't do as far as restrictions. There's nothing in our agreement that says no to this. What can he do legally if I decide to move in with my boyfriend?
