My Ex Left Me for Another Woman - How Much Contact Is Too Much? 💔

Three months ago, my world shattered when Jake walked out on our 10-year relationship. Within weeks, he was posting pictures with her - the woman he probably left me for 😞 Now I'm stuck in this awkward dance of co-parenting. He texts about picking up the kids, but then slides into casual conversation about his day or asks how I'm doing. Part of me craves that connection we once had, but another part knows I need boundaries to heal 💭 Last week, he sent me a funny meme totally unrelated to the kids. I stared at my phone for twenty minutes, unsure whether to respond. Are we supposed to be friends now? Is this normal? I'm trying to move forward, but these mixed signals make it so much harder. What's the right amount of contact with your ex when kids are involved? I really need to know I'm not crazy for wanting clearer boundaries 🤷‍♀️ #coparenting #divorce #movingon #FamilyRelationships
