AITA for calling my ex out on his fb post?
From the very beginning, little J came into the world surrounded by broken promises and absence. His mother, carrying the weight of a shattered relationship, never let bitterness cloud her love or her hope for his father to be part of J’s life.
Yet, the father’s presence was fleeting—mere hours s**ttered over years—leaving a silent void where a father’s love should have been. Despite the neglect and the pain, J’s mother holds no grudge, only a fierce desire for connection.
When a glimpse of the father’s true feelings surfaced in a birthday post, it revealed a heartbreaking truth: a love expressed too late, overshadowed by choices and distance.
In this story of absence and longing, the resilience of a mother’s love shines brightest, refusing to let walls of separation define her son’s story.

The original poster (OP) is facing conflict due to the absent father of their child publicly portraying themselves as a devoted parent being kept away from his son.
The OP acted defensively by exposing text messages that demonstrated their attempts to facilitate contact, leading to immediate backlash from the ex-partner and a friend.
Was the OP justified in publicly defending themselves against false claims of obstruction, or did their m**hod of response cross a line into inappropriate public shaming?
The core debate lies between protecting one's reputation against defamation and maintaining civility when co-parenting (or managing a relationship) with an uninvolved party.
