Ex Wife Tells me off in front of DD6

9 replies

Both female. Wife wants to separate and is still in the family home. Won't talk to me about her plans.
When I am trying to parent our dd6 I am always undermined and dd6 plays on it, which isn't her fault.
I've just had to tell dd6 off as she scraped her food off her plate and put it on the table.

STBXW comes down and shouts at me etc. Totally undermining me yet again. I then try and coax dd6 to come and play with me and she clings onto STBXw.

Because I am being shouted at it makes dd6 misbehave towards me. She's been throwing things at me and I tell her to stop it for me to be told off.

I've told STBXw that she needs to let me parent and stop undermining me in front of dd as it is confusing dd.

I can't leave as have alow income. She said she is saving to go.

I am really hating this situation

Are you going to have shared custody? I hope this isn't a sensitive question, but who carried DD? Did you carry her? Or did your ex?

Custody isn’t a thing any more in family law.

DD is adopted so I think we would both have equal rights

Is the house rented or owned? Is your ex being abusive in your opinion? Any threats?

This sounds awful, can you sit her down when DD is asleep. Have a chat and say that it’s a shame you’re splitting but going forward you both need to create a calm and happy place for DD and yourselves? Can’t be healthy for any of you, try and get her to focus on what’s best for everyone and mainly DD. It’s probably still raw for you both, will take effort on both sides but you can co-parent positively even if you’re not together.

I'd say she is being abusive. Feel like I am being bullied. She has changed passwords on our shared laptop, Onedrive so I can't access our financial files etc, resigned me as Director of our CIC and also removed money from our joint savings account. When I try to discuss the situation with her in a calm manner she just shouts at me

House is in joint mortgage

Is that legal to resign you without notice? Can you get free legal advice locally OP? I’d contact the bank about the savings to see if they can protect what is left. Sorry you’re going through this.
