Why is my ex trying to provoke an argument with me?

So without knowing your situation. I'm guessing your ex had to provoke an argument with you because something on their end did not fall into place as planned, so as a way out. They had to point a finger at you

My daughter from a previous relationship would come over, my ex would leave that weekend n party the whole weekend away. Coming back Sunday. Leaving me with the three kids.

Why does my dog keep licking at her privates now? She is 7 years old and has barely started licking there. The vet said she’s fine but she keeps doing that.

Fast forward to 2.5 years later. The explosive anger and aggression came back out of no where. Long texts, picking fights, threats, anger, rage, chaos.
