Co-parenting ...
I've talked a lot here about my children and haven't shared any light on how co-parenting works for us. Honestly, it hasn't been very easy for me. It's only difficult at times when I 'm being told that I'm not being a great mom despite being a single mother who also has to provide for three children. This is my take on it, I believe that the parent that is shaming the other parent most likely hasn't detached from the personal relationship. I believe that if both parties have come to an understanding that the children are the only thing that is between the both of you, co-parenting can work out perfectly.
SO...my most recent "relationship" or "situationship" as he would like to identify by is very difficult because my ex have involved too many parties in the decision making of our children without my opinion being validated. In my opinion, it's quick the opposite, if these parties are to be involved in the decision making, they can't be biased but seek only the interest of the children. I've been going through verbal, emotional, psychological and physical abuse with this man that refuses to compromise on anything with me. It's one of those individuals where "it's my way or you will learn the hard way" which I think is very unhealthy. Don't get me wrong, I've tried listening to all of his demands which includes: DO NOT HAVE ANY MEN AROUND MY CHILDREN, DO NOT HAVE ANY AFRICANS AROUND MY CHILDREN(btw, I was born in Liberia), also, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO COME AND SEE MY CHILDREN WHENEVER I WANT, oh and one more thing: I'M GOING TO NEGLECT OUR CHILDREN FINANCIALLY< EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY until you obey by my rules and if you don't I will defame you in public and with the people that you have introduce me to while we were dating to make you out to be a bad parent.
Here's my thing, these rules are stupid and shows his lack of competency of what co-parenting is. If the relationship in his opinion wasn't a real one, no rules should be applied. I believe that he should consider himself a "Sperm Donor". Sperm Donors can't make rules as to how and where the child or children live because their opinions are irrelevant. They produce sperm which makes a human being and have no interest in the well-being of the kids. Never did I think that in America that such thing actually happens. I mean, we've all followed Kim K and Kanye W's painful and stressful divorce. He, in my opinion did everything necessary to make her look like a bad parent but these opinions were only expressed after the divorce. Do you get my drift? OK! I AM KIM K right now trying my hardest to time-share in a respectful manner outside of the courts as family but dealing with someone who wants to promote such demands is selfish in my opinion. I think it's time to move on and accept the fact that things didn't work out for a probably good reason. And btw, my ex has several "open relationships" but it's okay telling me about while making these demands.
NONSENSE!!
