My coparent did not stop till the court stepped in.

Disrespecting the Mother of your children is the lowest of the low. You think she’s a “bitch”? Okay, let’s go there....
You once loved the "bitch" enough to engage in the unprotected relations that resulted in your little bundles of joy. Not convinced? Okay, well how about this....Unless you are the primary caretaker or have joint custody, the "bitch" is the person who takes care of your child day after day, year after year. It is the "bitch" who wipes away tears that you don't see. The "bitch" tries to make a happy home out of the broken promises and shattered dreams of a family that will never be. The "bitch" lives a life of mandates, while you live a life of options. Her nights are often filled with cleaning, bathing your children, making dinner, packing lunches, doing homework, and struggles over bedtime. While your week nights are spent working, or relaxing, or entertaining whomever, wherever.
The "bitch" is the mother of your children.
And for that, she deserves your respect.
All of it.
Although it would be nice if all could get along, the mother of your children does not need your favor, friendship, or admiration. Those are yours to freely give if you choose. But she is more than worthy of respect, from you, the father of her children. She takes care of your child in ways that you can't, and at times that you don't. She is the constant. The one who's always there.
The mother of your children is not your enemy. Even when she makes you feel like she is. She is on your team in the most important mission of your life- to successfully raise your children. So next time before you are about to belittle her and how “horrible of a person she is”– ask yourself.... who is this going to end up hurting in the end? I can tell you it most definitely doesn’t bother her any. The ONLY one that is going to suffer from you behaving this way is your children.
So just stop. - Angela R.
