At a family dinner, my daughter spilled one drop of water - Then her husband’s hand came down across her face.

Chapter 16 - DANIEL’S COUNTERATTACK
Daniel requested an emergency order limiting my contact with Ava.
He argued I was interfering with her reunification process and pressuring her against him.
The court denied emergency removal because evidence did not support immediate danger.
But the judge imposed boundaries:
No discussing litigation with Ava.
No questioning her about Daniel or Elise.
No sharing documents.
No social-media commentary.
Reasonable.
Painful.
Daniel interpreted the order as victory.
He told family:
“The judge told Kate to stop manipulating Ava.”
Not what happened.
Scott corrected him in the family group chat.
Actual order says both adults are not to discuss litigation with Ava.
Daniel removed Scott from the chat.
