WAW/Affair Exposed - Advice? #3

[DCBHM]

Question, and I may have missed it or something, it seems like you only see your daughter at the daycare place or for a few hours here and there. Do you take her overnight? If not, why?

Prior to my answer/counter-claim I was keeping D1 overnight on every other weekend. Meanwhile W was heading to OM's house "secretly." Afterwards she was preventing me from seeing her at all pending our Pendente Lite Relief hearing. After that I got her every Saturday from 9-4. Otherwise I see her 15-20 minutes each weekday morning at the daycare. W has played indian-giver about overnights since then, saying I could take her to visit my family and then withdrawing the offer a few days before a planned trip.

All the stories of "abuse" I've heard have generally been third-party, except for a few notable incidents:

1. That I tried to "drown her" because she was in the bathtub and I yelled that the phone was ringing. This apparently happened 2+ years ago.
2. That I was "choking her" and she could tell I wanted to "beat the s**t out of her" while referring to us being in the daycare surrounded by her coworkers and kids and nothing actually happened - she just got stressed because of going in front of her boss to discuss visiting D1 in the mornings. I mean... there would be camera footage, witnesses, etc.
3. I've heard from her attorney something about a picture of her with a bruise when she was pregnant. I went to the daycare and obtained a list of people who witnessed her falling when a kid ran into her when she was pregnant - this is where the bruise was from.
4. She has said things like "I'm scared of you!" and when I ask why she says "I'm sorry I just feel that way." Other times she said things like "I feel like you are going to hit me."

So... just bizarre things.

D1 was doing great this morning though. She didn't want to let go of my hand and kept saying "DA DA" and giggling so hard she would bend over forwards like it was tickling her stomach to laugh.

Other notes: Lots of inter-family politics in W's family. MIL's sisters would love to take advantage of this situation (huge Catholic Italian family) in order to cause drama on their end. Meanwhile - they are in a no-win situation. Give me a lot of time with D1 and undercut their argument that I'm "abusive" or go to trial and be exposed. The first thing out of MIL's mouth was "who did you tell?" and asked if I had told her sisters. So that gives me an angle. Reputation is everything to W's family, and I didn't react and play along with their cover story like they expected I would. They figured I would just passively film as usual and they'd have a cover story... but they are trying to micromanage too much. I'm showing pattern, long-term, journal, witnesses, PI report, etc.

So they should probably step outside of the bubble. I'm done giving them legal advice though - I tried but they won't listen. Feels like I'm going up against the mentally handicapped... and that is probably accurate.
