Dealing with nasty ex

Typical story - psycholgically abuse ex husband, plays disney dad while leaving me in a financial mess. Claims he wants 100% of the care but does fuck all except feed them shit food, buys outlandish prsents (although not for the baby, obviously, because the baby cant be manipulated yet) and doesnt have to take any responsibility for actually raising the children...

New tactic is trying to encourage the children to say things to upset me with the OW, so theyll come home and talk none stop about her and say "daddy says we must tell you about doing this with OW"

Theres only so many times i can say thats nice and roll my eyes. Dont know why im posting really, i know in the long run they will see who has put the effort in to loving and raising them but i just want to scream sometimes, it was bad enough being in a relationship with him directly but now all his nasty traits get fed to me through my kids - its so hard. Anyone in the same boat?

a poster on here the other day had a brilliant line to the kids, something along the lines of
"that's great you had a nice time with daddy and x, but let's not talk about what you did there, but what we are doing today" something basically diversion

it really is shit dealing with disney dads, when all you want to do with the kids is tell them daddy is a twat and absoultely useless, and one day you will turn round and realise all you liked him for was presents!
