Post-separation 'co-parenting' with an abuser is doomed to fail. One parent always puts 'others needs' before their own, and one parent chooses to put 'their needs' before others; their ego blinkering their 'capacity to parent'.

1/ My first flag it was going to be bad. My son (then 8) asked if it was ok to see his dad 1 day every weekend rather than all weekend every other weekend. I said- any thing you need. His father said-no I want to be able to go away and visit friends when I don’t have you.

2/ then blamed me and said it was my attempt to keep control of him ( not my son). It got worse.

Yes! They never consider the child's wishes (although this ultimately goes in the healthy, safe parent's favour, if you can ride the storm). The child eventually wants to control matters themselves and will start to reject contact. The 'parental alienation' counterclaim follows.
