Want to drive him nuts?

Hire a private detective firm to surveillance him for a day or even part of a day once or twice a month. Tell them you want it obvious.

Really not cool. Aren't you concerned he could escalate into violence, potentially?


Yes, but what can I do? He pulled a knife on me in the past and I was not believed in court. He's a smarmy liar and stops at nothing to get his way.


This sounds fake.


No, it sounds real. One in four women are abused physically. Numbers go up if you include controlling behaviors and mental abuse.

Every women and young women should read Lundy Bancroft’s books, particularly “Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Controlling and Abusive Men”. Bancroft worked with abusive men for 15 years and shares what he learned from them. Helps you see the red flags and learn to listen to your gut.


Not discounting this for women but there is a significant amount of abuse against men that goes unreported. more than 90% of men never mentions this to anyone due to shame and it is coming out a lot these days during metal health studies.

Jesus. I often wonder about these things---did he do this while you were dating?

honestly I would not mention the tracker, and take a picture of him in my car to show ex. Meanwhile, I would email him “last time you mentioned (insert all the crazy stuff) so could you specify blah blah” so that there is a record of his mental disorder and potentially a way for you to get more custody


My MIL lost her daughter this way. Gave her to her ex for visitation and never got her back.

If you aren’t doing anything you shouldn’t what is the issue?


He's a toddler and years away from having a phone.

People should not be tracking their ex-spouses. Period.


They aren’t they are tracking their own child. It’s not illegal. But go ahead call a lawyer.

This child will have a phone at 5.


Uh, the kid is with the ex.

This sounds very fake. OP can have her own diaper bag ready in her car at pick up. So, she declines the bag and 100% changes child into her own clothing, shoes, and jacket at her house and then returns the child in Dad's clothing that she washed. Problem solved.

I keep a tracker on my child. Either a gizmo or phone. We have tons of those trackers for bags and keys. No big deal.

Call your lawyer asap. Once you get your kid change their clothes and diaper, then use your own bag.

Do everything you can to document his controlling behavior. I know more than one woman with controlling exes and they only get worse. Document and get it in usable form. Email, pics, texts. Consult a lawyer. Someday you may need the evidence.

Op does not need to even take the bag. Bring your own. Change the kid into your clothing at pick up and before drop off.

Or maybe he got them to communicate if you restrict access. Gizmos and kids are normal. We have them.
