[quote=Anonymous]Co-parenting is extremely hard with an ADHD ex, OP.  Mine demanded 50/50 parenting rights, father's rights, and so on, but dropped the ball repeatedly.  Our kid was left at school and activities because ex forgot to pick them up on multiple occasions.  Last fall, as a tween, they went to watch a high school football game with friends - dad was supposed to pick them up and spaced it out.  The entire field had cleared before our kid finally called me, and I found them hiding under the bleachers in case any cops found them, they didn't want to get their dad in trouble.  It was heartbreaking.  Kid once took a train to a suburb an hour away from dad's house with no money and had to find a security guard to call me for help - I brought them home to my house, and ex didn't realize they were missing until about 9 pm.  Some days, our kid would miss school because ex just didn't feel like driving them, and they felt school was a waste of time, anyway.  Kid didn't brush his teeth or shower at their dad's house for a long time.  I kept a few spare pairs of clean clothes and a toothbrush for them with their classroom teacher in case they needed to change.  Forget having a dating life or moving on - you have to be available 24/7 to save your child from your ex.  Finally, my ex met a foreign woman and moved out of the country with her, so at least the worst of it is behind us. [/quote]
