Co-parenting with an ex can be hard. When you have shared or equal custody, you have to worry about pick-ups and drop-offs, work schedules, and the occasional unplanned errand. Sometimes, an even scarier thing can be a mental health issue, making one parent unable to care for the child.
This was the scare that this mom got. The dad, during his day of custody, phoned her and said he “can’t do this.” As the mom didn’t have time to pick up their daughter, he said he would just leave her on the mom’s doorstep until she came home. Horrified, the mother went online to ask for advice on what to do next.
