Looking for anyone who has been in this situation. Extremely high conflict co parent who shows many narcacist traits who has alcahol and weed dependency. Have young kids together. Finding it very difficult to navigate co parenting. He is extremely unpredictable ok one day a maniac the next and an irresponsible. I am constantly having to address ridiculous behaviours when he is in charge of the children. We have been split a year. He still thinks I want to reconcile and that he can pick up and drop off kids when it suits him and that I will always be at his beck and call with no life of my own which he has called me names for. Example boring b, sad b* etc . I have been civil and always put the kids best interests first. I do everything for the kids. He is verbally abusive and sends me horrible abusive messages when I try to make/confirm plans about the kids. Does it get easier as kids get older. I'm so sick of being verbally abused when he doesnt get his own way. Currently awaiting court. Do I get a protection order? Please someone who has been in this situation help 🙏
