You handled the complaint call from your W excellently. I am struck by the fact that your W seems to call you a lot to complain about how you handle S5, not just recently, but in the past as well. There is a lot of frustration and anger inside her and she consistently makes you her target. She appears to have the same streak of "I am better than you" attitude that my W has had through this whole thing. In the first year after bomb I could do nothing right. In the second year, she reluctantly began to accept that I am human after all. In the third year she has begun to admit that I am a good specimen of homo sapiens after all. This sh!t inside the WAW that keeps welling up to the surface will take a long time to get flushed out. I think this is perhaps typical of WAWs from what I have read on this bb. By staying on the high road and stating your positions clearly you are making all her accusations baseless. Good for you.
I hear Jo on the issue of the RO. It may very well be that your W feels free to break the RO, but if you violate it you could get hit with penalties. So it is perhaps best to play it safe.
Gabe, I know how angry the whole situation must make you. But a custody battle will mean the end of your R,and a lot of collateral damage to your S5. I know what you mean by the lies. That is par for the MLC-WAS course. It is all about lying. So, one has to take the lying in stride. If I could record all the lies that my W has told me in the past 3 years it would rival any dictionary of the English language in volume.

The 3 laws of DBing:
1. PMA is critical to DBing.
2. Since drop in WAW's PMA leads to drop in LBS's PMA and vice-versa detachment is critical.
3. Validate to raise WAW's PMA and GAL to raise LBS's.
