That's not right. These are important years with a child. She needs her dad more than the time you are given. Can you petition the court again? There has got to be something you can do. Emergency hearing......emergency being you don't get to be with your OWN CHILD. It's like a kidnapping.
Figure if I can get the Psychological Evaluation ordered, she gets diagnosed BPD, and I can push for a child custody evaluator who understands Personality Disorders and how they affect child development - combining this with documentation/research/etc. I have prepared for the eventual (expected) diagnosis.
Her behavior is textbook. Her journal is a smoking gun. I'm just dissecting her at this point and they don't understand how methodical I've been about it. The "Splitting" book is virtually W's playbook - but she doesn't even know it.
If I act in a fashion that is unexpected W/MIL panic and work to re-establish "control" of the situation by any means necessary. Notice - the first reaction when confronted with exposure of her adultery was to seek "control" via authority (i.e. lawyer/judge/police) to "force" me to behave in the expected fashion.
The mindset of course is that it is okay for W to flaunt her A in my face by parking next door when I have D1 - but it is not okay for me to call her on it nor expose the truth to others because that is "attacking" or "hurting" W and we can't have that because she is MIL's poor wittle dumpling.
The conversations are toxic, and the entitlement they display is sickening.
