I gave up on trying to be friends with my ex and it's the best thing I did.
For about a year after we split, I kept trying to have coffee every month and text about our kid's school stuff like we were pals. It just left me feeling awful every time. I stopped completely six months ago after a chat about summer plans turned into another fight. Now we only talk through a parenting app and keep it to schedules. My stress level is way down. Has anyone else found that less contact, even if it feels cold, actually helped them heal?

It sounds like you found what works for you, but cutting contact that much seems harsh when you share a kid.

Ever try co-parenting with a toxic ex?
