I don’t want to read too deeply into your comments, but it may be worth exploring why expressing this need feels like it would damage your relationship. It could be that you both need to adjust your communication patterns to better express

Oh get over yourself. You’re little more than a username to me, I don’t give a shit about your kids, other than a general one about how all kids deserve care and respect from their parents. That’s your job, not mine. My point is that ideolo
