[Custodial Dad]:

Is it an afterthought for you to have [daughter] s items of comfort? It seems you either planned to provide new items of comfort or you disregarded this child s comfort needs in your traumatic transfer of her from her home and life.  I can not understand your repeated inquiries. As I m sure you can reference in your recorded calls the bear and blankey issue have been addressed.  I think it absurd that I should send a certified letter to confirm that further, but I can surly do so if you specifically request and require such.

I sent you all updates- lens crafters as [daughter] had likely shared when she got glasses.

Were you not prepared to care for [daughter]? Please do not again attempt to blame and fault others for poor planning on your part. I am happy to work with you so let us be fair and page this staged deceit in which you indulge.

Kind Regards,

[The Ex]

[The Ex].

I tried several times to contact you the night before I picked up [daughter] but as usual, you ignored all of my attempts at communication. Further I was concerned that you would abscond with my daughter again as it took me nearly 5 years to locate her after you kidnapped her the first time.

And no, I wasn’t prepared for [daughter]. I received the order the same time you did which called for an “immediate transfer.” I was hoping for custody but never anticipated such a drastic and sudden turn, even [daughter] understands that.

Your refusal to send [daughter] the basic items of comfort is not punishing me but her. She has plenty of replacements but is still looking for HER things and I’m sorry you can not comprehend that.

And for the record, while [daughter] misses you, she is FAR from traumatized. She is not only happy to be in our home but is grateful for the page, normalcy, consistency and routine that my family provides.  Any questions regarding that contact Dr. [home town therapist] or Mrs. [teacher] and they will clear that right up.

I will not inquire further about her belongings as it is apparent, you will refuse to comply based on some imposed punishment on [daughter] or you will remain willfully stubborn to prove a point to some imagined audience.

[Custodial Dad]
