Part one is here.
I spent the day with my mother and sister (it was my dad's birthday..we sorta celebrated it today) and after dinner I got two strange phone calls. My phone would ring and say "restricted" but when I answered, the caller would hang up. This happened a number of times and I finally called my ex's cell to see if it was him. His girlfriend, Dawn, answered the phone. I have to admit that it surprised me....he told my lawyer in his deposition she moved to Indiana.
I wasn't exactly pleased to have to talk to her, but she started out by saying that she didn't know if she was supposed to be talking to me. I said she could, and she said that she didn't want to get caught in the middle of what was going on. I asked what she meant, and she told me that she knew we had been arguing and that she didn't want to be a cause of it.
I told her that the cause of all of the problems was my ex's lying. I told her about the Kindercare situation. I told her about Madison's blanket catching on fire. I told her he wouldn't give me a phone number to reach Madison. I told her he wouldn't let me speak or see her.
She confirmed Kindercare. She confirmed the fire. She said it wasn't right that I didn't have his home phone number, and she would tell her tonight that I needed to have it, then she would call me with it. She told me that I have every right to see and speak to my daughter, and that if I wanted to see her and he wouldn't bring her to me, she would.
I was VERY surprised (and a bit leary) of this situation, but I thanked her. A few minutes later, she called back and asked me something and I asked her who Mariah was. Well, Mariah is one of Dawn's children. She and Dawn live with my ex and Maddy. They've been there for a few weeks now. I told her that my ex said that Mariah was a friend who lived down the hall from them, and the car seat in his car was his stepson's (from a previous marriage). I told her that he would NOT admit that she or Mariah lived there, and that made her really angry. She was not appreciative of the fact that he was lying to us and HER as well. Apparently, he told her I knew everything in his life. She was surprised that I DIDN'T know. She made comment about not sticking around if he was going to be like this, and I don't blame her one bit.
She told me that she didn't have any problems with me, and that I could talk to her at any time.
The last call I got from her was his home phone number. FINALLY. She had the call block taken off and he was at home then...I'm sure they had a nice evening.
I'm very cautious of the moment of this situation....but I think it's a blessing in disguise that I can finally talk to my daughter. Dawn let me speak to her for a good 15-20 minutes.
Sooo....that's where I am now. We're going to court sometime in the near future. It's still a long road again.

You seem to be handling everything as well as possible, though; your daughter is blessed to have you, and I am certain that things will turn out well for you and Madison. Thanks for sharing your story with us so we can be thinking of you during this rough time.
Pixie dust for you!
