What happens when my ex sends me a nasty text? Do I still have to read it?

No, with BestInterest, you don’t have to engage with harmful or emotionally charged messages right away—or at all. When your coparent sends a text that isn’t child-focused or contains negativity, the app’s AI-powered messaging system filters out the unnecessary content, showing you only the parts that are relevant to your child’s needs.

If a message is filtered, you’ll see a note indicating that there’s “more to the message.” You can choose to view the full text later when you feel ready, or you can skip it entirely. You also have the option to forward the original message directly to your therapist, coach, or attorney—without needing to see it yourself—so you can get support without engaging with the negativity.

BestInterest helps protect your peace of mind by allowing you to stay focused on productive, child-centered communication.
