I’m sorry if this is in the wrong group, I just need other people to listen. Sorry in advance but I’ll try and keep it short.

My sons dad and I are not together. I am engaged to another man and he has a 2nd child with his girlfriend (her 1st). We have done such a good job at coparenting my 6 year old son until about 2 months ago.

A little back story, my sons father was emotionally and physically abusive to me during our relationship. Called me all of the names you could think of, making me feel worthless, helpless, and unwanted. I have a 4 inch scar on my shoulder from him tackling me into a baby gate from a drunken rage.

So to be able to say that we have succeeded in coparenting since our separation is huge. I still have full custody (we were never married), he doesn’t pay child support -something that my family hates and I regret sometimes, and our son spends his time at both houses equally.

For the past 2 months, he has become very condescending. I found out he and his gf were expecting again due to my workplace and he found out i knew and reported me for a violation- threatening jail time, job loss, and custody loss. My employer proved that I wasn’t at fault and the case was closed- it was proven I did nothing wrong.

I’ve had the most difficult time trying to have conversations with him about anything relating to our so . He’ll go 4 days without texting me back. Today I really needed an answer and he wasn’t responding so I sent 1 text to his gf (who also never responds) and 1 text to his grandma (who was watching our son today).

He called me framing out saying I was blowing up his family’s phones and he said “nothing you say is worthy of a response. Period, even if it’s a simple question about something Dawson related. You’re not worth a waste of a text message or a phone call. If he had a medical emergency I MIGHT respond, but the hospital can call me in that case.”

I asked him how I’m supposed to coparenting with someone who won’t communicate with me and he said “sucks for you” and hung up the phone.

I am just at a loss, I have not been rude to him, I have been cooperative and friendly, and this is what I receive in return. I am so tired of being beaten down by this evil person, and I hate that no one else in his life sees how awful he is. I hate that everyone looks at him like such a nice guy. I wish I could call him out publicly but I know that won’t do anyone any good. So I feel like I’m suffering in silence with this and I pray for the day when this type of abuse from him ends.

I’m sorry my post is longer than intended, but if you’ve made it this far - lift a girl up 😭
