Maybe you could ask your ex-husband to stop talking badly about AJ to you. It would upset me too if my husband spoke so negatively about my child. IMO, it serves no purpose and only reinforces bad behavior (but I don't believe in coddling either).

It's not necessary for him to say those things to you because you....of ALL people...know how many times AJ has fallen. You don't need the reminder, and you don't need the extra emotional burden. Insulting AJ in his conversations with you won't help AJ learn how to walk on his own OR find a job.
