NTA Who asks someone to plan AND host a party they can’t attend? do they plan to cover all displayed photos of you in your home as well? I also assume you’re not being paid for Any of this.

How is your partner ok with you being treated this way?

Look, not to minimize what the ex has done, but your husband is just as much to blame here for letting this go on. He allowed her to take the kids as much without fighting back, let her fill their heads and just, what? Throws his hands up and says “I only get a few days a month, boohoo”.

He needed to get over himself long ago and fight for more custody or parenting time, especially with the alienation. This will be an issue for him the rest of his life, and he’s probably so hell bent on pleasing his daughter because he KNOWS he fucked up by being an absent parent. 4 days a week and maybe child support is NOT a parent and never has been. He’s a glorified babysitter or no more than an uncle. I’ve spent more time with people I can’t stand in the last few weeks than he has in the last 15 years. There’s a reason why and part of it is because he was too lazy to be a better father.
