Pls help--confused and fearful

[Day by Day]

He's PO'd because he's a very controlling man and he is being told what to do/that a judge will make him pay... that he needs to give us temp support until the D is final and the CS and alimony is decided. Yes, it seems as though he doesn't get that he has a parental responsibility that is financial as well as emotional.

I don't think the x-examining is for anything other than determining how much money I need and where I got the totals from. It still is scary though.

I'm working on responding to his nasty emails... they are regarding the children, so I'm trying not to be baited into the other BS in it. We have serious communication issues and I have gotten mighty comfortable being NC. But, it is necessary to communicate for the kids no matter how uncomfortable it is to have any convo with such a cruel and controlling man. And he IS baiting me big time. I guess I'll just try to see the silver lining in this as I am learning how to deal with extremely difficult people.

My focus = my kids. I have to learn to manage to get along with him to co-parent with him even though he hasn't been a parent to them for years. Hopefully he will learn how to parent NOW. If not, I'll just pick up the slack as always.
