I don't really want my ex to lose custody- my daughter clearly benefits from having him involved in her life. Missouri is a state that strongly favors 50/50 custody- it would be extremely difficult for either of us to build a case against the other person that would change our custody arrangement.

He's immature and is either unwilling or unable to put his personal feelings aside to act in the best interest of our daughter.

To me- the best outcome for my daughter is to have two parents who are eager to support her at her events. I just have to admit that it's his call to make and that I'm not preventing him from having access to her. It's a decision he has to live with- and there is no reason why I shouldn't be able to attend my daughter's events if I'm able to attend. If my daughter asks why he wasn't there- I'll just let her know that I don't know and she should ask her dad.
