I mean i cant co parent..I cant see another woman in my daughters life..Her father is such a scum of the earth and lies so much ..Had another woman in her life who she called mommy meanwhile they werent together..Im not a crackhead or anything i have legal custody and for the last 2 years of coparenting we have been arrested ..so many arguments and no communication. Theyre times where we are really good but once either person tries to move on it is filled with jealousy and hate..I need some advice.

yeah plus im on the internet but i mean im not saying hes wrong or he wont have a side ..we are both wrong and jealous so its hard to put an end to things because of our past and our on and off relationship and so on.

Hard one....you have to be the better person and always do what is in the best interest of the child....

It doesn't work until both parents put the child first in all decisions that affect the child.

Also the decision to end the relationship with the other parent should be final and non negotiable. It only confuses everyone involved and continues the feelings of jealousy and hatred toward each other.

you know this is the response that really spoke to me and i think i have to end everything because we are confusing each other.

End it for yourselves and your child. Make the decision together, not because you hate one another but because you both mutually love your child. You both will reap benefits from a relationship that does not involve an intimate connection. We your child can see their parents getting along it has a profound affect.

It's a nightmare! It's THEIR relationship however. The more smooth you can make it the easier it is for the child. While it feels thankless now when the child is grown you will be appreciated.

@ChefBrian: That must be very hard and very harsh for little kids :|

I don't do it.. My wife and I are married..
But I'm sure that it is. It's why many people suffer through bad relationships for the sake of their children.
