How do people deal with challenging ex's? I'm really struggling with mine. Relations improved for a bit while he thought there was a chance we could get back together, but I've dispelled him of that illusion and things are back to being vile. He's obstructive, accusatory, difficult, rude and uncooperative. Sometimes I will get single word answers, at others I get a tirade of abuse. We've been separated for 18 months, and I cant face the next however many years of dealing with it.
We communicate via WhatsApp, although he's muted so I only see messages when I choose to check them, because he can bombard me with unpleasantness at times.
We separated for good reasons, but he was never happy to do so. He's had ankther relationship during this time, but rather than leaving me alone, this makes him even more unbearable. Its just exhausting. I've always tried to work with him, because that's what is best for our daughter. He sees her regularly, but if anything that makes it harder, because there a large part of her time I'm blind on, because he won't communicate with me about it, which is frustrating and incredibly painful. I'm just struggling intensely with being blind to a large portion of my daughters life. I don't know how to get around it.
