I can't get along with my ex-wife. We have a child. What do I do?

Answer 1

KEEP AWAY FROM THEM,JUST PICK YOUR KID UP AND LEAVE....THAT IS THE BEST THING TO DO.DO NOT TAKE ANY HOW ARE YUO CALLS....SHE IS YOUR EX FOR A REASON,NOW KEEP AWAY

Answer 2

Well, you are not really giving any details from which anybody can make their own determination as to who isn't 'getting along' with whom. For all we know, you could be the "not very good get-alonger" lol.
Seriously though, I take it you ARE talking about an under-age dependent child, so if you genuinely care about the welfare of that child, just grit your teeth, try to play nice, and be the one who is wearing the "white hat", because every day that passes, is bringing that child closer to the time when he or she is going to be able to make that determination as to who set the best example, and did "all the right things" in that very difficult time.
If your wife is the one who is being just sooo difficult, and malicious, and confrontational, and self-serving, that there is just no getting any cooperation or resolution with her, then perhaps one thought might be for you to have a chat with a divorce resolution expert (lawer) - who, quite probably, would have a few words with you on the phone at no charge. And then, based on what he might say, take it from there.

Answer 3

Try very hard to do what is best for your child. Most people that divorce DON'T get along so that's why they divorce. If she is difficult for no good reason, then that's unfortunate. Always try to place the needs of your child first, regardless of proving a point or being vindictive. Believe me, children sense this and end up paying a large price. Maybe you can arrange to meet with her alone without the child and tell her that you want to be a good father to your child and that you hope she will cooperate and do her best to be the best mom for her child. Always tell your child that you love him or her and that the divorce had NOTHING at all to do with him or her. Many children blame themselves. Good luck.

Answer 4

Explain to your child that you and your wife are going through some very hard times. Make sure she understands that it IS NOT her fault that's the best way. If your child is still depressed, keep talking to her never stop talking to her even if your wife doesn't. She will deal with it her own way, she will hear rumors from one another make sure you talk to her to see if your ex is filling her in with any lies that would make her see you differently.
Please consider this. My parents are divorced I'm a kid but I know more than you think 'cause I experienced it myself and I got over it in 2 years. My new life is better. I'm sure it would be better and easier raising a child who accepts the fact that her parents are divorced than raising a kid with a set of arguing parents to teach her violence and stuff that would harm her future. Good Luck!!!!

Answer 5

You have to be amicable no matter how hard it is. Think of it this way, you've already done all the hurting there is to do to each other. The only hurting done now will be to your child. Any attempt to hurt her or pay her back for what she did to you or vice versa only hurts the child and causes conflict in the child's life. You are setting an example for your child in how to treat others. Your child loves his mother unconditionally just as he does you. If he sees you two constantly fighting and bickering what do you think that does to him? It's torture for the child. Open communication is a MUST if you plan on successful parenting in the future.

God bless you & your child!

Answer 6

No body says you have to get a long with your ex (me and my ex go through roller-coaster stages of talking, then hating each other's guts and it's been 4 years)...Hell...that's why you got divorced in the 1st place! When your child is older, he/she will understand. But, for now, just follow your child support/visitation schedule and be there as much as you can for your child. That's what we are here for...anything else is just plain selfish.

Answer 7

Go out of your way to get along for the child !

Answer 8

You don't mention how old your child is but you're looking at having her in your life at least until your kid is 18. The best thing you can do is suck it up and be there for your child. Don't bad-mouth your ex in front of the kid, no matter how big of an a**hole she is. Be the bigger person so you can set a good example for your child. Good luck.

Answer 9

thats why u aren't together anymore, just try harder for the sake of the child. u may never see eye to eye with her, just accept it as being this way. u can only change yoruself, and the way u view a situation, u can't do anything about her behavior.

Answer 10

Grow up and stop acting like children yourself. Put the child first.

Answer 11

For the sake of your child, you must find a way.
Good luck.
