OTOH, when she is with your STBX, you can look at it as a chance for your D to learn natural consequences regarding getting cold due to not being dressed properly.
That's what bothers me, she's a kid and can't be expected to make the right decisions for herself. It's our responsibility as parents to do what's best for her.
that is true, but sometimes our kids need to learn the hard way. now, unless she's already sick, which it should definitely be put on, I think you can use it as an example and say, boy, I bet you were cold today, why don't we put a hat and gloves in your backpack so when it's cold you can put them on. try to get your DD to figure it out for herself, because going to the W probably isn't going to work.

Also, she told me mommy sleeps with her in the same bed - which is even worse. W did mention to me that she'll use the kid's bed (shaped like a car) for her at a later time and DD will sleep with the other little girl when they start living their.
ya, that's not going to be a good thing long term. and obviously you shouldn't sleep with your DD, I think she is too old for that. I think getting something to put on the floor like someone said would be a really good idea for you!
and yes, you do need to somehow find some more time to GAL. do you go to church anywhere? even getting together with some friends a couple times a month would help. you are definitely working hard, and you are being a great dad too! that is SOOOO important.
