[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also seen it happen that a Mom can make a Dad miserable over the smallest, most trivial interaction, to the extent that he stops communicating at all with the Mom, for his own peace. Not saying that is the case here, but it can happen. [/quote]

DP. How interesting that the advice to the mom is "bend over backwards and do whatever is necessary to prop up your child's relationship with his/her father even when the father acts indifferent to the kid and rude to you," while the message re dads is "if you don't like how your ex talks to you, it's normal to cut off contact with your kid."[/quote]

Where does it say the father wants to cut off contact with the kid? You are assuming too much here especially since we are only hearing one side of the story. It is quite possible that OP has her own share of the blame here and needs to be honest about her role, too.

Is it possible the father is reluctant to communicate because every time he does, OP gets defensive? Hostile? Accusatory? Is it possible father is afraid of "rocking the boat" and thus keeps communication to a minimum? The fact he is trying to use alternate means (other family members) shows he is still engaged.
