Help! My Divorced Parents Are Competing Over My Baby Girl

Hey everyone,

I really need some advice. I’m feeling so drained and don’t know what to do anymore. My parents, Gary and Ruby, got divorced a few years ago, but they still can’t seem to stop complaining about each other. It’s been tough, but I managed to deal with it until now. The problem is, ever since my daughter Savannah was born, their rivalry has reached a whole new level.

Both of them are constantly trying to outdo each other when it comes to spending time with Savannah. Gary will buy her the most extravagant gifts, and then Ruby will try to one-up him with even more expensive stuff. It’s like they’re using her as a pawn in their never-ending competition. It’s exhausting, and I feel like it’s starting to affect Savannah too.

I’ve tried talking to them separately, but it always ends up in a blame game. Gary says Ruby is trying to turn Savannah against him, and Ruby says Gary is trying to buy Savannah’s love. I just want them to see that this isn’t healthy for anyone, especially not for Savannah.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you handle it? Should I set some boundaries or maybe even limit their time with Savannah until they can act like adults? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Willow
