Short backstoryHer mother has always been unstable, increasingly so after we ended our toxic relationship. We had a custody agreement that was for shared custody 50/50. Her mother cant hold a job, permanent address or seem to finish her GED despite being on assistance for 3 years to do so. She does not set a good example, is unstable and not someone I really want raising my daughter. Then much to everyones predictions one Monday my daughter did not show up at school when it was my turn to pick her up for the week. There was no way to reach her mother and we eventually found her with some relatives out west.When she left her and her family lied to police and tried to have me arrested. Most people in my situation would have been totally fucked but I was able to get essentially 3 weeks off work to fly across the continent to sort things out. My father also covered the legal costs involved with getting temporary orders drafted etc. I know this might seem very one sided and like not the full story and believe me I could go on for days explaining the situation, short story its fucked. For the sake of my questions assume that me not being charged and granted full custody and having my child returned from another province is reason enough to assume the above is true.As of now there is still no finalized custody order because she has moved back and then out of the province twice and keeps changing her plan and it delays the court everytime. We are waiting on an order that will allow all communication to be done through my child's grandmother since she has permanent address and consistent contact.If the police did not return my daughter, and from what I've heard during and since I am lucky and a rare case I do not believe I would be allowed any access. I do not really know what to do and thinking of how this could long term effect my daughter gives me extreme anxiety, she still sees her mom as this wonderful person and its fucking terrible.As of now they have phone calls once or twice every week, they are short and I think they are a good thing? What sort of requirments do I set? why should I even give her another chance, this wasn't the first insane scenario that has occurred. I feel like if I give an inch shes going to keep pushing and pushing for more. Can someone please just give me their opinion, has anyone gone through anything at all like this. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2DoWf40
