[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Thanks for all the replies.  I must say, it was an interesting read and definitely gave me some perspective.  A lot of it caused me to rethink my position and see things more clearly from her point, and a lot of it felt like a rush to judgment without considering a bigger picture. Fair enough. A few felt pretty harsh (I really don't think of myself as a "bad dad", because I'm not).

FWIW; What I recall of the day the pic was taken was I that as dropped her off for her event, I said something like "Can we take a FB selfie?  You can even take it."  She said "sure, after I change".  She did and then even fixed her hair in a mirror.  I handed her my phone and she took a few shots of us smiling.  She got out of the car and we said "I love you" and off she went.  She was then at her mother's house for the week.

My point being that I truly recall saying it was for FB and allowing her to take it and see it as she did.  If that was somehow miscommunicated, I will apologize profusely to her and hope that is enough. If it's not, then I will let it go and hope that time heals things.

I cannot offer more love, support, encouragement, and presence than I have.  I have bent over backwards to be a better parent after the awful divorce.  But if my best isn’t good enough, then so be it.

I am all for respecting everyone's rights and wishes, but it has to go both ways.  Based on this, I will be calmly and gently pointing out all the times she spied on me and sent texts, pics, and recordings to her mother, who then handed them to her lawyers (those guys could make Mother Theresa look like a horrible person) to use against me, and posted some of them on FB with some pretty vitriolic text. I don't think D14 is aware that mom posted her pix on FB during the divorce.  I will also be reminding her of the time she accused me of being sexually inappropriate (baseless) around her and a friend and ran to mom with that one… you can guess how fast the lawyers were involved in that one.

So to wrap it all up, I will apologize for whatever mistake I have made.  But I will also clearly tell her that she has done just as many things to break my trust and it was my mistake to allow those to continue.  The first time she texted pics and reports to mom, I should have taken her phone for good.

I will also change every single one of the almost 400 pwds I have over the coming weeks.[/quote]
