S/o What grade would you give your spouse/co-parent...

My ex moved halfway across the country and got remarried and had a few younger kids now. I took our DD to visit him for a few years after he first moved away it once he got remarried, he would make up excuses about why I couldn’t bring her. That went on for a few years and then I have up. I didn’t really have the money for these trips in the first place but I thought it was impossible that our DD see her dad. I give him a D and the only reason he doesn’t get an F is that he is okay about paying child support. He is often behind but he does try to catch up.

He fails because he is verbally and emotionally abusive to me in front of the kids. Just today, he got mad at me when our 2 yo said she was scared of Daddy's yelling. He claims she can't possibly be scared of an adult yelling at her mother, she only said that because I told her to. To retaliate, he told our 4 yo that I'm always on drugs and told her I'm a "psycho". He says that because, after years of his abuse, I finally went to psychiatrist who put me on something for anxiety.

Sadly he sees the kids every day.

Omg. What kind of support will help you make a plan to leave ASAP?

This was my father. It leaves lasting effects. Please get your kid out of there.

A+ for effort.

The only thing he does wrong per se is that he’s not great at reading them emotionally and sometimes presses things at the wrong time.

Oh and he talks too much instead of enforcing whatever it is he’s asking for.

But overall he’s wonderful and we’re all lucky.

He’s great with our children and is pretty helpful around the house without having to be asked. He’a very successful and works hard but we are his #1 priority. He jokes that his main job is to make me happy and he does a very good job at it.

Wow. And yet he gets an A? You’re a moron.
