This is my response to your contact with Mandy requesting to see the kids even though you are living at their dads house.

My question to you would be this. If you had a chance to teach Ashli something about what it is like to be an adult would you teach her that it was a good idea for a woman to go back with an abusive man? It is my opinion that you have put yourself in a position where you have become a bad role-model for her. A woman that lets a child see her go back with an abusive man is teaching the child that it is acceptable to stay in an abusive relationship.

Fool yourself into thinking that he is going to change but know this. I will encourage Mandy every second of every day of the rest of my life to keep Ashli away from a woman that would want to teach her that its ok to be with an abusive man.

This may hurt your feelings but Ashli's future is more important than your feelings.
