Happens all the time... happens to my H's kids with his ex.

I kid you not if she could not manipulate her way with him via dozens of texts every night she would wake up their 10yr old at 10pm on a school night and make him call his dad to further the manipulation.

Its horrible and I can attest I have two very deeply scarred stepchildren. One may survive and have a decent adulthood but the other may never hold a job and forever be living under their mother's thumb.

Always... I mean always... take the high road. If needed consult with your attorney and have counseling for your daughter and yourself.

If you think its ugly now I can attest it can get worse. In the nine years I have been with my H his ex his filed multiple bogus restraining orders against us... even on specifically naming my at the time 8yr old son. Twice we have gone periods of 12-14 weeks where we were denied seeing or talking to either child. It takes weeks to get a court date and then the other side can file multiple continuances. We get our moment in court and the judge is furious and my H is immediately ordered to see his kids but the damage is done. My H will never get those months back with those kids and can you image what they felt or what they were going through when they were told that their dad abandoned them?

Keep a log... of everything... discuss nothing with your D and only let your D see smiles and positive afirmations. Hold your head high at each and every moment
