Well, here I find myself back in the same position I was ever in when married to the ex. She undermines any form of discipline I attempt to enforce. Contrary to the decree, the ex won't require my daughter to come and visit me on my weekends or Wednesday nights. My daughter has spent exactly one night in my house since the divorce 2 years ago. So now I found out my daughter is smoking pot. I strongly object to this and resent my money going to fund murderous Mexican drug lords. Yes, I smoked when I was younger, but I also crapped my pants when I was a baby, but I none the less taught my kids not to do so.
I e-mailed the ex about all this, and she seems to think that since my daughter keeps her grades up and is a nice social person that none of this matters, or it's my fault she won't visit, because I want to enforce discipline on her or at least tell her there are consequences to her actions. "Nice" is defined as "able to deceive most people you know into thinking you are good" just the same as her mother does. The ex's pattern of behavior is to give her whatever she wants with no strings attached.
So I'm thinking it's time to lawyer up and play hardball. Opinions?
