Tomato, Kerry, ND, Nut, Bizarre, and W2G - thanks for the support. I can only hope this comes back to bite her. I do save these texts and will be running them by my L most likely next week. I'm also hoping this continues to shed a negative light on how she's attempting to bias my D against me and the evaluator will see this and act on it quickly.
For now, I have to take the high road and get ready for our deposition on May 28th. I received a copy of the deposition letter today, so if W doesn't know she's being deposed by now, she'll find out pretty quickly. However, I think she already knows b/c she got really icy w/ me this past weekend. It probably came in Saturday's mail.
So I get to see my D tomorrow (yeah!) through mid-day Saturday when W will take her to our mutual friend to sleep over and play w/ her girls. I'm still a bit sickened by it b/c I know she's doing what she can to take people away from me, but as you all said, I will do nothing and allow the truth to come out.
I need to be a patient man. I believe this has occured to me b/c I need to learn to be patient and to let go. I also feel I have to learn how to love myself and be comfortable in my own skin. All of these things are happening and I'm getting better and better w/ them daily. I still have a long way to go, but I can see progress.
Since W and D are leaving for Indiana on the 14th and won't return until the 22nd, I asked for D on Monday and Tuesday of next week before they leave. I even offered to meet them at the airport Wednesday morning so D could stay w/ me another night. On Monday, W was seriously considering it. However, today (not that I'm surprised) things changed.
She now says she is extremely uncomfortable w/ this idea b/c I've been late every since she's known me (I won't dispute this as it is something I hate about myself and have been awful at correcting during my life -- what can I say, my parents taught me to not care about being prompt. It takes a lot of time to undo 37 years of bad habits. Oh, well, I'm working on it.
W continued on throughout the course of 3 e-mails telling me "NO" and ending by saying I can either have her pick up D at daycare on Tuesday or I'll get her until 6:30 pm on Tuesday. So, my response, was again to take the high road and not put any fuel on the fire. I wrote:

This is unfortunate especially since you sounded optimistic on Monday night that I might be able to meet you at the airport on Wednesday morning and therefore keep her longer. However, if her staying w/ me on Tuesday evening is not an option for you, then I'll meet you at 6:30 pm at (location) on Tuesday, May 13th.
I'm sure I'll hear back from her on this one. She's back to the angry stage and I really think she'll stay there until custody and where D is going to school is settled. While D and W are gone, not only am I going to be working w/ my L, but I'm going to be checking out a few schools in the "neutral area" that is basically 1/2 way between our two jobs and talk to them about enrolling D. I'll at least have a plan in place to present to the evaluator about D starting Kindergarten in a place that is centrally located and thus fair for both of us.
Who knows how our phone call will go tonight. For that matter, who the heck knows how their EVER going to go w/ my W. Well, I was home late, so I decided to sit down and finally watch "There Will Be Blood" tonight. I've heard nothing but good things about it, so I'm kind of eager to press play.
