[Daughter]'s "Living Situation"

Bcc: [Custodial Dad] <[email]@gmail.com>

Stop insinuating, insisting and discussing with [Daughter] your belief that her "living situation" is temporary.  Clearly, by your own bizarre behavior and the results of your consistent litigation, you have proven again and again that not only did [Other State Judge] make the correct decision but that you are in no way capable of raising [Daughter]. 

You will no longer have these conversations with my daughter.  This is your last warning because if I must sever all contact to protect [Daughter]'s mental health, I will do so effective immediately and most likely with the blessing of the courts.

[Custodial Dad] or [Step Mom],

I would appreciate your direct explaination of the followng repeated statement you make:
"Please understand that until you can control yourself, we can not subject [Daughter] to you nor your abuse. "
What are you talking about?  What "abuse"?  What "control" of myself?  Please detail.
Thanks.
[The Ex]

What is truly unfortunate for [Daughter] is your continued behavior.  Please understand that until you can control yourself, we can not subject [Daughter] to you nor your abuse.  Again, my reasonings have been explained and since you require additional explanations, please contact my attorney.
End of discussion.

To touch on one point in your message, what is and has been driving up costs is your consistent, continuing and  frivolous litigation.  If you would redirect your monies to [Daughter]'s care and normalizing a relationship between the two of you instead of your crusade, I would be more inclined to believe that you are concerned with [Daughter]'s best interests.  Again, I will direct you to contact my attorney for further clarification.
