I’ve name changed just in case…
Basically as the title said. Looking for some tips on dealing with the fall out from DPs high conflict ex.
He gets abuse at handover, war and peace over text msg etc but he is dealing with that by engaging as little as possible. So whilst not great he is able to manage this as best as he can.
the main issue is the things she says to the children. This ranges from being unkind about us, her DPs ex, people in general to being quite manipulative to try and control situations / make the children not want to come.
it’s causing a lot of confusion and upset to all the children (mine too as they are more opinionated and don’t really understand some of the stories their step sibs come out with). and I’m really at a loss of how to handle it. Do we just ignore and move on or should we challenge?
So as not to drip feed. CAO in place and this has escalated some of the behaviour over the last 3 months. Kids are 10 and 9
