this is an exchange between ex partner and I from March. This was after my partner took me to collect dc. Ex had recently started seeing dc (4) after the end of a non mol that lasted 3yrs. I have already posted but I wanted to know what others may get when they read the messages (with less context). Lastly ex was already aware of partner prior to this day.

Oh goodness op. Stay safe and take care of you and DS. Your ex sounds a dick.

He’s definitely trying to assert himself in these messages. You were right to shut down the comments about how you travelled there and home.
On a less serious note, I am creasing at him trying to sound all dominant, and then saying ‘tic for tac’ (like the mints) instead of tit for tat.

I thought the same! You beat me to it 😂 what an absolute dickhead.

Thank you for your reply.
Dc has a speech delay. He talks to me but ex struggled to get 2 words out of him so he wouldn’t have gotten any info. Dc hasn’t seen him since this day. But recently he contacted dc school to find out if he really goes there. School didn’t disclose. He also doesn’t know where we live so I do feel safe and relieved I never gave up that info.

That's frightening.

Keep the police in the loop. I'm sure you are, but you and your child need to stay safe.
