DP and Ex are divorced; the finance and childcare arrangements have been agreed and both sides have stuck to the arrangements and been flexible when required. So far, so good.
The problem is that the Ex refuses to talk to DP. All arrangements are via text, email or the eldest child. DP refuses to use the children as messengers and has tried to ring her on several occasions but she gets the children to pick up the phone. She won't appear at the door at drop-off and DP doesn't dare go to her door as it's 'her territory' and he fears a showdown in front of the children.
It's starting to become an issue because there are some behavourial issues and future schooling plans that DP wants to discuss but text/email is just not appropriate.
I keep my nose out of matters between DP and Ex, but this is making my blood boil because it's her children that are suffering as a result.
Any suggestions? Do I just have to let this go?
