Stop focusing on what he says, and how and why.

If you cannot resolve an issue of a field trip, what will you do when you guys have to discuss new schools, drugs, bad influences, alcohol, grades, partying, curfews...
Pointing the finger and finding all the negatives will keep you from finding ANY common ground to co-parent effectively.

Focus on getting rid of the anger which is clouding you at the moment. You've been absorbed in it for a while now and it's keeping you stuck.

You and your kids deserve better.
