I have been receiving the usual barrage of weekly emails from my ex even though our matter has settled (in January) and there is a new agreement. Lately he has been accusing me of not coparenting because a) I make decisions at my house that I don’t consult him about and b) I don’t usually respond to his emails because I don’t wish to fuel the fire (important kid business is responded to). Examples of decisions I have made at my house he is angry about are: allowing my child to (tastefully) dye her hair, allowing my child to sign up for a joint Instagram account with myself that is fully monitored by me, allowing the kids to watch a PG13 tv show with me. Etc
So because he is so angry at me, he has told the kids that Mommy doesn’t believe in coparenting so we will be “dividing” the households then. This means sports he usually supported on his parenting time he will no longer bring the kids to. This is devastating to my daughter who is wishing to try out for a competitive team in her sport but won’t be able to do so if she attends only half the practices. In fact, I’d likely just have to take her out of the sport altogether.
What can I do about this? Is he free to just decide to keep them home on his parenting time even though there is a well established status quo of him supporting their sports in the past?
I hate to see him using the kids like this as it’s not punishing me, it’s only punishing them.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
