Litigation has stepped up. Looks like court bound for 3rd time. even and equitable is not good enough for her.

Sorry to hear about the litigation. Have you tried giving her everything and living in a cardboard box. That might work. (that’s a joke). Seriously though, let the lawyers deal with you. You stay focused on you and the kiddos.

She is nuts and selfish and angry, and manipulative and puts kids in middle and can't stop it.

I know you know that you cannot control what she does or says. So accept that. I would suggest really working on have zero expectations from her. What I mean by this is….zero expectation of her being a good mom, zero expectation that you and her will co parent, zero expectations that you can even have a conversation. ZERO.

She cancelled another tirip on the kids and blames me. how?

Ummm….have you gotten the “it’s your fault the the polar ice cap is melting yet’? (Another joke). On a serious note, I totally agree with Lost and AJ comments. I small trip with the kiddo is what is in order. I understand that financially it may be a bit tight, if it is, find something inexpensive to do. Do you have family that live out of town- maybe you could stay with them to save the cost of a hotel? Is the weather warm by you? Can you take them camping? Something dude – anything. Be creative. Maybe a indoor water park? Check groupon, living social…. The kids need it and SO do you.
