(MOG, please excuse me for hijacking. But I wanted to explain to Rob why I have supported your decision. Rob has been around long enough to know my posts pretty well.)
The wife is a a physiological mess, and he does need to distant himself and his little girl from her. I'm glad he can drop the rope and also file for custody for D2 b/c W has violent temper and hits other adults when angry. I worry about the D2's welfare.
I do not suggest this type of advise except under extreme circumstances and I feel that "this" is one of those times.
I hope the W can get professional help b/c she has a lot of very serious issues. Her parents apparently did not do a very good job and from M.O.G.'s information, her dad (the preacher) was not the "man" of the house like he should have been and mother was a b*tch from h3ll. Sure hope little girl doesn't grow up to be another "copy" of those two women in her life!

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
