It seems that you can say that your ex beats her with a belt and these posters will find away to blame you.
Somehow you've become a receptacle for people's anger and vitriol - perhaps it helps them not curse out their kids and kick their dog but you're not going to get reasonable, rational feedback here (with the exception of a few posters). You don't have to justify your discomfort about your ex, itakes perfect sense.
very much appreciated

I am not apart of any anti-divorce crowd, but people need to be willing to take responsibility for their actions, bad decisions, bad judgement, etc. If OP f'ked up marrying a self absorbed guy, he did not become like that only after he became a father.
I suspect this is a situation where the ex has moved on, has a way better standard of living, a woman who he is sharing his life with whether permanently or temporarily and all this irks OP no end. So she makes this an issue pertaining to he daughter. It is so obvious that this is what is happening.
Unless OP has reason to believe that her child is in danger, she has no say in her ex's living arrangements. If she believes this to be the case then she should go to court and get the judicial process involved.
The one I feel really sorry for is the daughter who is having to deal with an unstable mother and, perhaps, a not so great father - based on all that OP spews about him, assuming one can believe anything she says. Even the VIP day attendance is a perfect example: if she genuinely believes that her ex is not the best person to take her daughter for the event, she should be the one who takes her not to give her ex a break but because she is concerned about the best interests of her daughter.

Yes, in the past I did get upset because I asked him not to introduce the GF yet, as we had just moved again and it was really really hard on my daughter. In that move she realized that we were not getting back together. Very long winded but it was really really tough, she hated my new apt, begged to go back to my old one and literally started hoarding, not throwing anything away. She didn't want a pet because she would miss it too much when it died. (Once I saw this, I took her to therapy. She went for 6 months. Did wonders). Of course it was the perfect time for a major introroductin.
Within one month he introduced M, had her sleep over, my daughter saw her in his bed (the same bed she saw me sleeping in), babysit her and would say things like - but Mom, she does everything you do??? Yep, confused.
It is one side of the story but I can tell you in very vague pretenses that at one point child protective services had to be called over his BS (because dancing naked in front of a 6 year old is distrubing at best, and her therapist reported it) and even last Labor Day weekend he didn't like something I did, drove up to my street and snatched my daughter from me on the side of the street when I was about to host a sleepover for the girls. And the next day told my daughter that I was supposed to apollogize to her. Can't make this shit up.
Yep, VIP day is on him. He will have to step up to the plate. I'm only going to take her to lunch afterwards and only focus on me and her as a family unit. Because the douchebag is not a part of our game plan.
So judge all you want DCUM. I know a few of you out there get it. In the end I have to coparent with a complete jerk.

No, she doesn't. She has no such rights at all. That is his private life. None of her business, period.
