Why is my ex trying to provoke an argument with me?

Eventually the phone calls n texts slowed to a stop. Eventually she stopped coming home. And when she did it was instant anger and yelling.

How many of you have had your parental rights taken away because of lies and no truth whatsoever, and did you prove the lies that were told about you to be false either through drug testing or another way, but still had your rights taken?

It eventually became an every weekend thing, then her friend started coming over, every single day. She wouldn't leave. And my ex was letting her invade our life.

My daughter from a previous relationship would come over, my ex would leave that weekend n party the whole weekend away. Coming back Sunday. Leaving me with the three kids.

Fast forward to 2.5 years later. The explosive anger and aggression came back out of no where. Long texts, picking fights, threats, anger, rage, chaos.
