My ex sabotaged the co-parenting app we agreed to use

I set up OurFamilyWizard last month like the mediator suggested, and my ex kept claiming he 'couldn't figure it out' to avoid logging exchanges. Then yesterday I saw he posted screenshots of our private messages on Facebook. Has anyone else had a co-parent weaponize a tool that was supposed to help?

Call me crazy but posting screenshots of private messages on Facebook sounds more like someone being petty than some calculated weaponization of a parenting app. I get that it's annoying he lied about not knowing how to use it, but airing that out in public just makes you look bad too. Like my buddy's ex used to screenshot their text fights and post them with her own captions, but instead of getting sympathy people just thought she was immature. Unless those screenshots had something really damaging in them like threats or admissions of something illegal, it feels like a reach to call this a serious violation. Was the stuff he posted actually incriminating or just embarrassing?

That Facebook post was a clear violation of privacy, not a tech problem.

And it's like people forget basic decency the second they get power over someone else.
