I want to try and help you here. I hate to ask this, but can you sum up where your sitch is right now?
You say that you believe W is probably having an A. Why do you believe that? Why don't you want to ask her?
The issue with you child is a tough one for me because I did not have to deal with that in my own situation. I have step son, but I clearly did not have the same responsibility, nor did my W have the same expectations of me, as you are dealing with.
I think that declining her request that you take a day off from work so that she could have break was the right thing to do.
Why does she need a break? Didn't school just begin?
Was there any issues with you not co-parenting on a 50-50 split? In other words, did she complain that you weren't doing your share?
I'm sorry that I have so many questions. Maybe I have missed the answers in your other posts. I admit that my reading of your thread has been spotty. Sorry.
Regardless, I think that the bottom line for you is going to be the same as it is for many posters. You are facing a delicate balance of trying to demonstrate positive changes with also protecting yourself.
I might be better able to opine with some answers to the questions above.
