[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ex and I divorced when DD was 7 after a long, high-conflict custody battle. Early on, he pushed hard for full custody and took me to court with all kinds of claims/excuses, and it’s basically been ongoing ever since—constant threats to drag me back to court over one thing or another.

DD is now a senior and turns this summer. Between school, activities, and friends, she’s very busy, and lately she’s been choosing to stay primarily with me. I live close to her school and social life, and she has never liked going back and forth between houses.

He recently sent another long, accusatory message saying I’m “taking his daughter away from him” and is again threatening court. The reality is DD just doesn’t want to go to his house at this point. I’m not forcing anything either way, and I don’t feel like I can control this anymore even if I wanted to.
There’s a long history here of conflict and undermining, so this is just more of the same. I’ve tried to limit communication, but obviously we still have to be in touch.

I’m exhausted and counting down the days until this is over. I honestly can’t wait until I don’t have to see his face or hear from him again. It seems like he can’t move on and it is very frustrating.[/quote]

OK, do you have a question?[/quote]
