When Co-Parenting Gets Complicated: Navigating Forced Apologies

Lately, I've been struggling with my ex making our daughter go on what he calls an 'apology tour.' Every little mistake or misstep turns into a parade of apologies to family, friends, and even teachers. As her mom, I want her to understand the value of a sincere apology, but I worry that making her say sorry over and over is teaching her more about shame than true accountability. I remember being forced to apologize as a kid, and it always left me feeling small instead of understood. How do you handle situations where your co-parent's approach feels so different from your own?
