This is the worst day yet....

Hi all,
I'm divorced since June. I was forced to leave my home because I couldn't afford to stay and my ex could.

In my opinion, joint physical/legal custody can only work if the parents can co parent. This is not coparenting. Are you documenting all he does/says in front of your child? Show it to your atty. Ignore him if you can. Don't react to him. If he sees that he's getting a reaction--that satisfies him. When he starts to become angry-walk away and say "We'll discuss this later". Or hang up the phone.
How old is your son? Make sure he knows that this does not involve him and try to keep him out of it. NEVER badmouth the other parent to him. Make sure he knows that it's OK to tell the parent "I really dont want to talk about this" if one parent starts to badmouth the other. OK>>>>I just reread your post...your son is 4. Document everything. Take it to your atty. Request parenting classes for both of you so you can coparent together.
I'm sorry this is happening to you both. It's a hard situation-especially if you live down the street from him.....
