Confused about ex's unusual change in social media behaviour

So my ex started dating a new girl not even a couple days after he left. We were together for 3 years so seeing this absolutely devastated me. The day e left we got into a huge fight which almost got me and our daughter evicted. At first they told me and everyone they were just good friends and the next thing I know they are posting that they are in a relationship and supposedly so happy together. At first they were posting a bunch of photos together and tagging each other in love memes for about a week or two. Now all of a suddenly he hasn't posted nor tagged her in anything for a few days and has posted how life is stressful and some other stuff that has nothing to do with her, which is abnormal because with me we were always posting about each other when we first got together. Their pictures also seem off And are nothing like the ones me And him posted. Ours were more intiment. And due to the incident happened here I had to place a pfa on him just so my landlord wouldn't throw me and my 2 yr old daughter out. So it's not like I can talk to him.

I was told by a mutual friend of ours that he said he still loves me and that he misses everything, and was also told that he didn't see things working out with her and that he was gonna end up leaving her. But that was also said to me last week a few days before the pfa hearing. Not long after the mutual friend started telling me this when I pressed the temporary one, I got a text from a number I have never seen before saying "I miss you". I was told he wanted to message me but is afraid that I will turn around and turn him in for violating the pfa, which I don't blame him. I am hoping that him doing this is some kind of sign that he meant what he said and that he really is getting ready to leave her.

I think it's shame to live your life through social media. Surely if you want to know something ask the other person directly rather than trying to decipher the state of play through Facebook or whichever platform you use.

Sounds like you want him back and hoping the change in social media activity means he will be coming back to you.

Think about your daughter's safety and wellbeing if not yours. Think about yours too. Do you really need this man in your lives? Is he good for you or your daughter? Put her first.
