Hi Everyone,
Excuse the long story here, just looking for some advice from others who have been through this.......

I seem to be stuck in a perpetual cycle of solitude since breaking with my ex-wife about 4 years ago. I have a six year old daughter who lives with my ex and means the absolute world to me.
Twice now I have found a new partner and struck up a relationship, only to break-up the relationship when my ex turns into a psycho bitch and starts threatening all sorts of things like cutting back my access to my daughter. My ex feels threatened by any new person in my life and gets jealous and crazy, particularly now that she is single herself after having a long-term boyfriend (hypocritical? yes)
I now feel like I am unable to move on, since I don't want to put anyone else through this, but don't know how to address the heart of the problem (the ex) without getting some legal advice and playing hard-ball. She is completely unreasonable and won't talk to me any more.
Any advice from other single parents out there?
