How to improve with ex dragging me down?

[mystikmind2005]

So i have worked hard to improve myself since my ex moved out in January this year.

 

The problem is we have a 3 year old daughter and i am stuck with my ex being in my life at least for the next 15 years or so.

 

My ex has a massive stick up her ass over custody and is constantly breaking the mediated agreements denying custody for every little reason she can think of and basically running with the theme that i am an unfit parent.

 

In case you are wondering if that is true at all, i find it interesting that all her complaints have not changed at all even after my parents moved in and have been there helping me out. So nothing i do is good enough, and as it just happens, nothing my parents do is good enough, just happens were all unfit parents, imagine that?

 

Also it breaks my heart that my daughter has no consistency in her life, and can never know if the custody she is looking forward to will happen or not.

 

So how do people manage to rebuild their emotional well being and their lives with things like this going on?

The clichéd saying of 'remove toxic people' from your life and surround yourself with people who love / respect You. Im glad you have your parents support. For your daughter, let your ex have her way. When your daughter is older, show her how hard you tried but at the same time, how difficult her mother made it as well. Your daughter will decide to choose at the end of the day. Who knows, you will meet someone else, have another child and your ex wife will be jealous of the time and attention you give your new family. Any particular reason why she left you?

I disagree. Obviously you're ex has some issues. Sue for custody, take over the parenting and at least push to get the mother evaluated. Another option is to get an attorney, if she is going against what has been legally documented, you can sue her for non-compliance, keep accurate records as well, this can lead to jail time for her.
