[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been divorced now for almost 3 years. My ex and I share joint custody of two amazing kids (6yr old twins). Often when they are at their mom’s house and I’m FaceTiming with them, my ex says things in the background (she’s holding the phone) like, “you just need to say a quick hello” and “it’s okay” when we’re talking. It is completely bizarre as my kids and I have a great relationship and is an obvious attempt to manipulate their emotions. I try to hold strong to the fact that eventually they’ll realize what is going on and better advocate for themselves, but I worry that psychologically their brains are becoming hardwired to feel strained in our relationship unnecessarily. It is crushing me and no matter how much I tell myself that taking the high road and ignoring it is what is right for them in the long run, there has to be something I can do to put a stop to it. Anyone have any experience with this and have any advice?[/quote]
