Hi rich4j. She responded by getting in my face and daring me to hit her. Believe me, I would have loved to lay the smack down but that is not something I want to teach D3 and it would have gotten me arrested.
All of this has made me reconsider our custody sitch. Initially, I was willing to let D3 live with WW because she used to be a good mother and she had a more flexible schedule. I think I will look into full custody and let her have supervised visits since she can't seem to hold her tongue or hide her anger and resentment.

Wow. Sorry for the sitch but I think your WW may be cousins of mine :-) Has gotten in my face but not the hitting comment. that is out of control and you should record this. Document it and let your lawyer know

Custody from what I am learning is different across the board depending on state/situation. I would also consult the L but there is legal joint custody (joint decisions on braces, relgion etc...) and then physical custody...(at least in my state). I would document, journal every day with d3...the time you spend, what you do vs her etc.....if you want to have full custody. Keep a documented record of every day and consult with your L

We have a bit of similar situations and I am not sure if she plans on moving out (I can't recall your entire sitch) or you are? Being in the same house seems to be a toxic mix as I am experiencing this myself...anger, resentment, and having this around any children is tough. I hope you can get some peace and protect D3 from experiencing anything detrimental
