Dad clashed with my wife a lot about correcting her about petty things, especially petty religious things.

I actually thought, "OK... Now that we aren't together, at least here I can have some peace."

Nope.

This just felt like such a sucker punch. I was feeling so good after Christmas, and then the review of my parenting skills from my time visiting over the holidays showed up in my email.

It created fear in me, and actually changed things for me.

I've felt like really invalidated at times before, but now I actually feel like my safety as someone fighting for his kids has been affected.

We live in a small-ish town. My kids are reluctant to go out much because they don't want to bump into their mother.

Now I don't feel safe going back to my home town.

I could totally, totally be over reacting. But this WAS an unprovoked series of comments about me as a parent, and something that if said publicly would actually affect my efforts in court.

Yeah. Maybe I'm not overreacting.
