Background:
H filed for custody of his 6yo daughter in March. We have documented having his daughter 60+% of the overnights for the last three years. BM's response to his petition was that he had abused her in their 3 1/2 MONTH marriage; but nothing was said about that during their divorce, or any time afterward, until now.
Now this:
We had his daughter this weekend. We were at his parents house on Saturday night, for a cookout and and the kids were all shooting fireworks. At one point, SD was sitting in my lap, and H's grandson was wanting in my lap, too. H told D to get down, because she was just causing a fuss. If he touched her at all, it was to make her look at him so he could talk to her. He did NOT hit her! Like I said, the whole family was there, and can verify this.
After BM picked up daughter on Sunday night, she called back and told H she had a problem with what happened this weekend. He told her we had a very good weekend; H didn't know what she was talking about. She told him the first thing D told her was that H slapped her in the face. He told BM that did not happen. BM claims D said it did, and that she came up with it on her own; BM said she didn't ask, that D just told her. He told her he might have turned D's face to him; that when H tries to talk to her, she turns away. BM said there is a reason she won't look at you, and that's all going to come out, too. When he talked to D on the phone, he told her he did not hit her, and D said yes he did.
What does H do to defuse this situation? In our opinion, BM is trying to create problems, where none exist. Should we be concerned? I'll have to admit, the accusation upset us; we don't know what to expect next.
