I'm on the hook for 1200 a month in support plus I take the kids every weekend and during my two weeks in summer. My ex constantly posts on social media about how she's doing everything alone and I don't help. It stings because I'm genuinely trying to be involved but no matter what I do it's never enough in her eyes. Anyone else deal with this narrative stuff?
You're putting in the work, man. 1200 a month plus regular weekends is serious commitment. Don't let social media noise get to you - your kids know what's real.
Three kids here and I've been there with the co-parenting struggle. Keep doing what you're doing for your kids - that's what matters. The social media stuff will fade but your presence won't.
1200 plus every weekend sounds like you're all in. Document everything you do for the kids. Sometimes that paper trail matters if things ever go to court again.
That's a tough situation man. Keep doing right by your kids though. They see that you're there for them and that's what counts in the long run.
That's rough brother. You're literally doing everything right and she's still not seeing it. Sounds like it's about control for her at that point, not actual support.

I'm in the co-parenting trenches too and yeah, it's frustrating when the effort goes unrecognized. The kids feel the difference between a dad who shows up and one who doesn't, even if the ex won't admit it.
