Co-Parenting struggle

[Kris_M]

Laura, I don’t usually comment, please take care of yourself. Please keep yourself safe and healthy. You are important and deserve the very best.

He did it publically in order to push a narrative that you're the problem. An apology is only as good as the behavior that accompanies it. The BEHAVIOR is always more important than the words.

I saw it and I only stuck around because I knew what his fans would do over it and I want to tell you - You didn't do anything wrong and I was surprised you were as calm as you were, especially when he refused to leave your house. He still calls it his house and his fans encourage that. Your personal life is your business but Stephen does need to learn to respect your boundaries and it might help to have another man there when it happens or when you decide to discuss it because it can't be a thing that he brushes off. Which we saw him do to you in that Live. You're so confident and vibrant on your own but he's put you in bad positions on TikTok twice now and we can all see that confidence and vibrancy change when he starts. You can focus on all the good stuff but addressing the bad stuff also needs to happen. But I would address this with him sooner than later and I would make sure you have support when you do.

Im so sorry. I miss the old Stephen. I can’t imagine how you feel.

Instigating a fight on tiktok live is so messed up... I don't understand what has happened to Steven. He used to be a normal person with normal problems. Now he's someone I don't even recognize. I had to delete him on insta and tiktok because of the sheer ridiculousness of his page! You are so strong Laura I don't know how you even do this so level headedly and calmly.

Laura what would you say to a friend or relative that allowed an ex to treat them the way Steven is treating you. You can't keep letting him walk all over you, for your own wellbeing. He knows exactly what he's doing and he has no right to stay when you request he leaves. You need to put designated hours and times in place for him to visit. He can't keep invading your space when he deems fit.

Beautiful lady... You need to set proper boundaries when it comes to him. He's forever behaving inappropriately, apologizing and then youre back to being all friendly with him. No. Yes co-parenting is good but that doesnt mean he should be allowed to act that way. Space. Boundaries. Otherwise it will never stop and you'll never break free.

[pizza_queen]

I’m so sorry Laura, I think you need to protect yourself. He shouldn’t be in your space in order to coparent, have a meeting place but he shouldn’t be in your home. He doesn’t respect you and he’s a bully. You are an amazing human and mother. ❤

Laura I can't imagine how hard for you this all is, but please stand up for yourself. Poppy is watching this happen. She will think this is what is okay. For people to disrespect you and your space. You need to find the strength to do this for her and for Alfie so they dont grow up thinking this behavior is normal or acceptable.

What went right: my father in law was in a car accident and his truck was totalled but he got stitches and got to come home. He wore his seat belt, his car did what it was supposed to do and he will recover.

OMG poppy and Alfie are getting so big. STOP GROWING ❤❤❤

You can be great co parents without being in each other's space. My ex and I co parented our daughter, we had joint custody and when the other didnt have her we would ring her at bedtime. If we had to discuss anything it would be over the phone and we were always cordial and friendly each other at hand over time. I didn't need to be in his house and he didn't need to be in mine. We respected each other's space and boundaries. Stephen needs to get over himself and move on and respect that he doesnt live in that house anymore but you also need to stop letting him in all the time because he wont accept it whilst he still has free rein of the place. Get a proper custody agreement in place and stop letting him holding you back from living your life.

i dont understand whats going on w stephen lately, im not sure if he was always that way but i cant stand his new attitude and mindset. you're being really strong and im so proud of the mother and the great inspiration of a woman that you've become.

[shaunythoreson]

I love this, back to basics. A Day in the life. I missed watching you cook, thank you for sharing. ❤

[lorikegler]

This is why it’s so good you’ve divorced him. His good and loving qualities do not outweigh his toxicity. You are a wonderful and kind woman. Great job, Mama.

[wistfulwriter]

I hope someone sees this from your team, Laura. Stephen is currently on Live and I peeked out of curiosity for a few minutes, and I would be so shocked if he were sober. He seems really off. I used to watch you both all the time, and then him for a moment before everything went off the deep end with him a while back. But even then, he seemed sober if misguided. Today, though...right now. I'm worried for you and the kids.

[liveandletlive]

What went right... I watched this vid and saw an awesome lady working her program which reminds me to work mine. I also was very reasonable with my adult high functionng autistic son instead of being frustrated or angry. I had a good day because that's what I wanted. Thank you so much for being you!

[Erinsythelovesthemountains]

Spending time with my mom, who turns 79 on the 11th, went right for me today. Also, a wonderful walk in the NC sunshine with my rescue dog was wonderful! Than you for the reminder to acknowledge the positives, despite anything else that may be going on.

[abigailschoenfeldt]

It's AMAZING how you can talk and reason with yourself about bits of outside negative comments ❤ My theory is if there's no drama, Stephen's followers don't watch. I aspire to handle toxicity as well as you!!!

[moongoddess]

Laura, you’re a phenomenal working mom and as far as the coparenting, you are handling it better than most! Sending love and strength ❤🙌🏻

My ex likes to try and bait reactions as a form of control. My friend helped me come up with responses so I don't have to have arguments back and forth with him.
