Verbally abusive coparent

2 replies

In the last 6 months, there has been at least 20 occasions where my co-parent (ex husband) has been verbally abusive. Normally just name calling such as calling me an arsehole, cnt, awful person, stupid, mental, adhorrent, fcking bum, odious, selfish f*ckup etc. You get the idea.

I normally just ignore but have lately been responding along the lines of “please do not be abusive. It is not acceptable to name call”.

I realise this is only minor stuff compared to what some people go through but am wondering where I stand. Am I best to ignore? Just keep repeating the phase above and log any incidences? At what stage is it more of an issue? The thought of having to deal with this for the next 10 years is pretty depressing. We’re divorced and have been separated for 3 years.

Just to add - not just in the last 6 months but similar issues in the 3 years prior (and when we were married to some degree).

But just giving the number of incidences in the last 6 months as a reference.

All communication is through a court-approved parenting app. No other communication.
