The power and control dynamics underlying Ye’s behavior are the same power and control dynamics that characterize all abusive relationships, and you are likely overlooking it as it happens to people you claim to love right now.

When you do not approach co-parenting exactly the way they are asking - such as shifting your/your child’s schedule to fit theirs exactly - they berate you and accuse you of “keeping [them] from the kids”

You stayed with your ex for a very long time, likely working very hard to avoid this behavior which you knew was coming if you separated. For that reason, people see you as acting “out of character” or believe you to be lying about abuse you hadn’t previously mentioned.
