Ex-etiquette: How do I co-parent with someone who is impossible to work with? Q When my son was 3 months old, I broke up with his father. There were many reasons. Basically, he wouldn't work, he slept all day and didn't help with the kids. I worked full time, was a full-time student and did everything. Fast forward a year, I decide to give "us" another try. He improved in the beginning but then things got bad again. I had enough and finally ended it for good. Now fast forward almost another year -- he is still messaging me and asking me back. In these last several months he has been charged with harassment and felony stalking. So, how do I co-parent with someone who is impossible to work with? I'm starting to be concerned if my son is even safe with him. What's good ex-etiquette? by Jann Blackstone
