My ex wife and I are going through a divorce. My son who's 9 has been showing some signs that he's struggling with it tonight. We have 50/50 custody and tensions are super high because of a relocation refusal by me.

We watched a show today where the characters divorced and he was emotional after. He would smack his head continuously and looked more anxious but would tell me he's okay. When I tried to tell him w could talk and that I know the show must have upset him, he didn't want. He would crawl on the floor and slouch as he walked. He told me he didn't want to talk about it but I held him as he tried his best to not show his tears to me.

I explained that it's okay to be sad and even upset with Mommy and Daddy and that we will always be there for him and love him very much. I comforted him until he seemed to be emotionally more regulated.

He also has a mild intellectual disability.

I want him to start therapy more than ever after what I saw tonight. I'm worried he doesn't know how to process this all and is masking his emotions.

I've asked my ex that maybe therapy would be a good idea but she's refused several times. I'm going to approach her again with these observations from tonight and hope for the best. I know she's going to refuse but thankfully our agreement says I only need to give her notice. I'd love for us both to be on the same page though.

What are your thoughts on this? Am I overthinking this all? I'm so concerned here but my ex keeps downplaying when I bring things to her.

I should also mention she's refused marriage counseling too back in the day lol so much for stereotypes here.

I have a relocation trial next March where my ex wants to relocate across the country with our kids to live closer to her family and boyfriend who she had an affair with me on.

I wish it was tomorrow but it's going to take forever. I feel pretty confident about my case leading up to the trial but just feel so overwhelmed at times being a 50/50 parent, working and trying to keep my sanity.

Today, we went to the park and playground. I was lazy and got McDonald's drive through. Helped them with their homework and now they've been playing Fortnite for the last hour and a half because I'm just mentally exhausted today for some reason.

I hate what this trial is doing to my mental health. I'm a good father who's very involved with my kids but at times feel like a sack of potatoes. I'm useless right now and emotionally not here. I don't feel like getting off the bed. I feel like I'm under the microscope continuously and that makes me feel like giving up or continuing to lay on this bed even longer.

This is my rant. Sometimes I feel like a bad father because I'm not emotionally out together the best these days... I'm sure my ex wife is struggling as well though, in fact I know for a fact. She doesn't take them to any extra curriculars on her parenting week. I take them only on mine. She doesn't take them to friend homes either. I'm not sure if she thinks not helping our kids build friendships out here hurts her case or if she's just as emotionally beat up as I feel some days...

Is this normal?

In your opinion, what is the best shot horror movie and why do you feel that way?

I have to coparent with her and I fing hate it sometimes. I find her to be a morally bankrupt two timing cruel peice of white trash. She has taken no accountability for the affair or the cruel shit she put me through to try and win a relocation trial we have where she's trying to move to be closer to her family and affair partner. She's willing to lie and do whatever she needs to to win it feels. I refuse it he alone with her now.

Sometimes I think about the trick she tried to pull on me. How she tried to get me to move across the country under the guise that reconcilation was possible. all the while she had her boyfriend waiting for her.... I can't think of someone who would be such a garbage of a human being.... And this is the mother of my children. It's going to be mothers day, and I truly hate her for what she did.

Had she gotten away with her scheme, I would have moved, felt played and could have easily killed myself once I put it together. Would she even care? Does this woman even have human emotions? Wtf kind of a human being was I even married to?

Every so often I get triggered and feel like shit all day thinking about how much I hate my ex... I don't even know what set me off today but thinking how I have to coparent with her pisses me off and I have no respect for her at all. For my kids I wish I didn't hate the woman who bore them into this world but part of me thinks I'll never have any respect for who she is.

It's hard for me to let go of the affair she had and how she's still with him and introduced him to our kids all while refusing to admit she had one.

I get resentful about her just not being truthful.

She's also been making up false things about me. Lying in her affidavit for our upcoming trial pretty blatantly that my lawyer tells me with the proof I have it will not make her look good.

Sometimes I get stuck in this mindset of how do I coparent two children under ten with a person I think so low of. I find her morally broken and cruel. The behavior since our divorce is like dealing with an entirely different person.

There was a time when I thought we could get along after being divorced but what she's done I feel that's impossible. I don't trust her at all. My lawyer says never be alone near her...

I don't understand how I effectively co parent with her.

I should also mention our two kids both have ADHD and one also has an intellectual disability.

I heard a guru recommending to increase your followers on your page to get better ad results because FB loves people interacting with your ads and the most likely people to do this are your followers.

Do you find this to be true?

Looking for a good resource thats preferably free to learn to be a film maker. Looking to understand the fundamentals. Thanks for any recommendations.

I'm a novelist who's hoping to turn some of my stories into a movie.

Will be travelling to Bangkok in August and I'm making a list of things I want to do such as the Jurassic Park experience, spa's, the movie theatre's look amazing. I even saw a lion cafe (which I'm sure isn't very ethical).

What are some unique experiences you'd recommend in the city?

Travelling in August and would love to get a custom suit but prices seem a little high from the research I've been doing.
