I know B. Many are. I know mine was when she walked away. Not sure about now. I know there was a "competition" to see who could be parent of the year, in part to help "prove" she wasn't crazy or a "bad" person/parent. She also told everyone what a great parent she was and how awful I was.
I made sure to set the bar high. While she isn't overtly abusive, she is abusive in her own way. It's not bad enough in my situation to keep the kids away. I am thankful for that, and I suspect Tad's ex is similar. There have been a lot of similarities in our situations. A lot.
