[quote=Anonymous]OP here (I think my previous post got buried so posting again) Wow, thank you all for all your input and perspectives, good and bad. I take everything I read here with an open mind and heart. My ex undermines my parenting by always coming to take her away when she calls him when I am mad at her. She used to call me to be picked up when she fought with her father, but I wanted to respect his space for parenting, so I rarely did. I know exactly how exasperated he must be feeling, and I know he needed to parent in his own way. His insecurities about parenting are at the root of all this, so he needs to feel like a "hero" protecting his daughter. Re the iphone, he bought it for her and asked for it back and gave it back to her despite my telling him that I took away her phone privileges. Also, regarding the therapist, I don't know if my ex knew she would call the CPS when he asked her to see my dd to talk about what happened. I want to think he didn't and was surprised as much as me. The therapist is young and inexperienced. She probably went by the book and could not see the nuances of the actual need at that moment, which was to bring the family together instead of the knee-jerk reaction. She only reacted to the corporeal punishment (slap) and could not see the bigger picture. In my book, she failed as a therapist because she ultimately caused more harm than good. Lastly, I am reading mixed advice about CPS. It has been over 48 hours and no visit. I want to think they dropped the case, but should I not talk to them if they do visit?
