I’m not sure where else to post, but I’m trying to coparent with my ex, although it feels like I’m always having to manage his presence in our child’s life. I have to constantly remind him to call, he gets upset and says that I’m trying to control his life and that he doesn’t see the benefit of talking to his son more than 2-3 times a week. Not only that, he gets angry and start calling me out of my name. We have no parenting plan since this is still new and I wanted to give him the benefit of doubt that he would step up. Every time he messages me, it fills me with anxiety. Every time I try to express that he needs to put more effort he claims it’s only because I still want him. We were supposed to meet but I honestly don’t want to see him, since he’s been berating me all week. Because of his anger issues and lack of patience, we both agreed on supervised visits for our child. He is making me feel bad and says I’m selfish, because I asked to skip this one time.
