My ex sent this attachment to me late last night. I think a lot of it (most of it) is unreasonable. He has told me that he does not want my input regarding how the kids are handled at his household, and yet he's expecting me to follow his strict standards at mine.

I can't even keep the kids home from school if they're sick unless I get his permission first. I'm fully capable of reading a thermometer or determining if my child has vomiting or diarrhea that school is out of the question for the day. I find his demands ridiculous and out of line.

I didn't sleep all night long. I spent over an hour responding to his letter, and then thought better of it and just wrote "we'll discuss this in mediation."

POSSIBLE TRIGGERS
The things he said I called him in front of the kids are false. A Nazi? He said I called him a Nazi. His girlfriend called him a homophobe the first time I met her. He uses derogatory names for gays, foreigners, and blacks - turd burglar, corn holer, pillow biter, towel head, porch monkey - and my son is picking this up.

He says I run his family down. The kids will come to me and say things and if it's something that I've experienced or agree with their perceptions, I do not cover up that fact, but I don't go out of my way to put down his family.

He has a drunk driving arrest. He's hit my daughter and left a bruise and threatens her with repeated hitting to keep her in line. He has lied to me about his income.

Take into consideration the way his words would come out if it was spoken would be in a very condescending tone of voice, or else flat, as if our children are objects and not people.
