Thank you....

I talked to the judge and got a temporary restraining order for me. He planned to suspend visitation with my daughter as well, but I convinced him not to. But there are very strict parameters about arrangements, pick ups, drop offs, etc. and absolutely no communication between me and my ex. HOWEVER, this causes all sorts of concern for me.....for the safety of my daughter. I really have to talk to T. I called him tonight and left a voicemail asking for a session later today or early Saturday - cuz my daughter is supposed to go with her dad on Saturday afternoon.

I feel like I can't keep her safe now. I used to be able to feel out my ex to make sure he was in a decent frame of mind...or make sure to not allow visitation when he was acting all crazy....But without contact with him, I won't be able to do that. So, I am starting to feel like I made a big big big mistake by allowing visitation before going to court on Tuesday. UGH.

I wonder if requesting that the judge do a psych eval on him or have supervised visitation. I don't know. I just don't want my daughter to be afraid of him or feel uncomfortable...ACK...but I want her to be protected, and she needs to know how to protect herself if I'm not there to protect him.

OMG, this is turning into even more of a nightmare.....My T and I both agreed that we feel that my daughter is not in danger with him (in a sexual way) because of her age. It hasn't been his MO and there have been no signs of him causing her any harm. But when she hits her teen years - and perhaps brings some of her girlfriends around him - T and I are both very, very concerned....
