Please reconsider mothers day weekend. It is same as graduation weekend for me. Please send me your proposal for mothers day weekend. As I have sent, my mom can fly [daughter] down and we can have her back for bedtime Sunday-mother s day. Please be considerate of this special time for me and [daughter].
Thanks.

We need to play that one by ear as there are many, many uncertanties already in place for this vacation.  For instance, let us establish that contact will be daily for [daughter] and I, without interference, schedules, dropped calls or other various excuses that you have employed from time to time.  I will also expect to know the exact location and verifiable address of where [daughter] will be staying PRIOR to her travels to [other state].  I will not allow her to be anywhere that I do not have an accurate and true address for and the [other state address] address will not suffice.

>> [daughter] is attending [school] Elementary and her teacher is Mrs. [teacher].  [school] was not accepting late registrants although we appealed to Dr. [teacher], the [home town] Superintendent, she could not attend [school].  Her Guidance Counselor is Mrs. [guidence counselor].  You are more than welcomed to call them.

>> She is doing very well. She has already made friends at school, she loves her new teacher and she is just shinning.  I am very proud of the adjustment she is making thus far but we have an appointment with a therapist this evening.
>> 
>> She is telling the school that you are picking her up, I think you need to confirm that you will not be doing so, at least not until the summer.  Its not really appropriate that you tell her these things because its simply not going to occur. I think its better to address the situation as it is instead of giving her false hopes.  The guidance counselor agrees with this statement, please try to respect that.
>> 
>> I overheard [daughter] shouting last night about her door.  She was upstairs in her room but was very loud as we all heard her.  She has a door, she pages in the bathroom or with her door shut.  She has privacy and knows how to make herself comfortable.  I am saying this, although I have no real reason to explain it to you but so that no more false accusations are thrown by you.
>> 
>> I think for now we need to limit the conversations a little bit, in time NOT in frequency. [daughter] just seems very upset with the conversations.  I’ll address this more with the psychologist tonight and will relay his findings.  If he feels it is appropriate, I will of course include you in on the sessions, if you want to be included.  For now, a short call every night and a long [webcam software] or Sunday call to [daughter]’s wishes would be better.
>> 
>> FYI: Bedtime is at 8PM.  [daughter] typically showers at 7:30PM and so please try to call around 7PM, like I stated previously so she adjusts to the schedule appropriately.  I am in no way, playing the ridiculous games that you did.  I see the importance in [daughter] maintaining a relationship with you and your family.  I’m contacting grandparents to let them all know [daughter]’s contact information.  Please forward the information to [daughter]’s Aunt and Uncle as well.

[The Ex];

I think I have been very clear on what my response is to your requests regarding this specific weekend and have answered in a multitude of different ways with a very consistent answer.

After speaking at length with Dr. [home town therapist], we agree that it is not appropriate for [daughter] to leave school and her routines for any length of time away with exception of her Summer Vacation as was scheduled in a separate email.

[daughter] already has an extraordinary absence record at her previous schools.

I am attempting to not only rid [daughter] of the thoughts you have filled her head with about me and my family but to let her finally adjust to a normal family life free from your ‘lifestyle choices.’

I really think we will use this Summer as a jumping point to determine future visitation and contact outside of the scope of the order because as of right now, you are barely communicating with me despite my many attempts at engaging you in [daughter]’s life.

Lastly, you have still failed to address or even acknowledge the multitude of emails and registered letters I have sent, unless of course it hinges on something that you want.  Do you think you can take the time to review the multitude of letters I have sent over the past 30+ days and send some sort of notification that you are indeed viewing them?  I already have confirmation of your receipt of them but I would like to know that you are indeed reading them.

[Custodial Dad]
