How to contact ex who has regressed into a petulant 8 year old?!!

4 replies

My ex DH and I hate each other, however we do have 2 children together and will need to be in contact re Uni fees, Xmas dates, holidays etc like any other grown up adults/parents. The kids HATE being in the middle and do not want messages passed between him and I which I totally understand.

HOWEVER, due to his "grass was actually NOT greener" life, he's regressed into the most childish idiot who blocks me from emails and phone numbers. He lives abroad and I have no way of contacting him. For example, he insisted that he wasn't back for Xmas... but now the kids say he is over on Boxing Day ! They of course want to see their dad but it makes everyone feel awkward as I'd planned for him not being in the country. I know it's so he has control over me as it means I can never leave the children to go out or plan holidays around my work.

He now has no lawyer and his Mother also ignores emails from me.

What to do??? It's so unfair, especially as it was HE who left the family and not my fault that his life has fallen apart.

help !!

What age are your children?

His choice. His plans. You plan your holidays around you & what you'd like to do with your kids. Leave him to it. He's your ex husband. An adult. He can adult his way through this.

How old are the children?

If they are over 15/16 let them sort out wait they are doing.

Are your kids old enough to make arrangements with him themselves?
