Avoid Mudslinging

From the Top 10 Mistakes Moms Make with Their Exes by Sally Abrahms

Name calling also increases the ill will and escalates conflict with your ex. Try to work together, not against each other. Everyone loses in mudslinging and name calling. You want to win, not lose. Forget the past, move ahead toward a peaceful future.
