My childs father and I split 4 years ago we've both moved on he's very hostile towards me, more so in the last 2 years since a girlfriend came on the scene it's as though he wants to prove to her that he hates me and speaks to me in a very disrespectful way I don't engage and try to compromise at his demands the best I can. However it's an uncomfortable situation for me as it makes me feel down things having to be this way regarding our son, it just puts a damper on my life in regards to child's events, occasions and holidays etc so I'd rather just not talk about.
He's a well known guy in our town and every-time I meet up with a friend or see someone I know ish they always bring him up 'how's things with X?' 'did you see X has just been away?' 'has X seen son much lately?' and I just think f*ck off I'm unsure if it's because they think I want to talk about it only why would I? I have my own life which I really don't want to spend discussing my ex is this just a normal situation every split couple with children deal with? I just say oh I don't know anyway how's the kids? Or something along those lines and change the conversation does this happen to anyone else if so what do you respond?
