Has anyone been through the process of separating from the parent of your autistic child? Or just separating from a partner who is very spiteful? What does that look like for you? What is coparenting like with someone incredibly mean and manipulative?

I’m still in a relationship(9yrs), but I think about this every day.

I’m terrified of her not being watched properly by someone and something tragic happening. I don’t know what I would do if I was only able to see her 50% of the time. Scared of him honestly just in general (towards me not her)

I don’t see separation happening unless I find out he’s cheating/has cheated, hits me, or leaves me first. I don’t see any other options.

But for the people who are on the other side, what is it like? What happened?

I can tell he isn’t happy. I think we are both staying together so we don’t lose time with our daughter

My mom (57F) is definitely narcissist. I’ve always suspected my dad (60M) but the act he can put on is really convincing until you see how he acts when he gets too comfortable.

Overheard him on the phone with my uncle talking about how “the worst thing that has happened to this country is giving women the right to vote” followed by “women are only smart when we’re fucking them or inside of them” (isn’t that the same thing? Or not? I’m confused)

My uncle only has two daughters, my dad has two daughters, and I have a daughter. His older sister (60sF) has a bachelors/masters degree and used to work for the government in a large capital city.

I thought he cared about the women in his life but this shows that he doesn’t. It made me really sad to hear
