[quote=Anonymous]There are specific ways of communicating so as not to escalate. My ex and I switched to email only for a while when things were contentious. Or you could use one of the communications apps for divorced parents. Send brief informative messages related to the kids/logistics. Edit your emails to remove unnecessary phrases that can be read as snarky. the "surely you can understand," "as we have discussed multiple times." Just say what needs to be said. Let go of having the last word or calling out bad behavior. If she escalates, don't respond or only respond with essential info. "I will pick up at 5:00" or "yes, I can take Larla to the dentist appoinment." IF she accuses you of doing the things that she is actually doing, just ignore.[/quote]
