After a tie with my 13 year old daughter as I found out she had almost been having sex with a boy at school, I agreed with my ex husband she should live with him for a while as her behaviour as become disgusting. This was a week ago, the night after the argument he sent me a text stating that he was st the solicitors enquiringly about getting our contact order in place which I have had for five years where he has 8 overnight stays which he also has my sons 9,10. I was absolutely mortified and felt he had taken advantage of a difficult situation. Since then he has cut off all access for me it's my daughter, I have not seen or heard from her. I told the school of the situation, and today they rang to say he had her taped stating she wants no contact with me. I am absolutely devastated, no words can describe this pain. He threatened to gain access of my sons if I sought legal action. He promised he sort out her behaviour but instead as spoilt her and is promising her puppies etc. I have had a very good relationship with her up to three months ago where the school bad boy got involved with her. I feel she's being bribed by him and she's too vulnerable to see it. To top it off I have an ex mother in law who hated me from day one and has already tried to poison against me. I am so scared I have lost her, I am pulling my hair out with stress.

Okay, pragmatic question. Which of you is going to help her sort out contraception?

Btw people suggesting she goes to school and pucks up a 13 year old what do you do when she refuses to go? Do you drag a teenager kicking and screaming ? No i doubt it and i am sure school would get involved.

Oh and it would sour the relationship further.

Would also agree, you can't go and get a 13 year old who doesn't want to be got. She may well refuse to come.

OP, your ex is clearly being a twat. However for this kind of twat, if they enjoy power, what they get off on is their ex pleading and asking and getting upset and them having the intoxicating blast of saying no and withholding. The best thing may be to just let him and your dd get on with it for a while. Not fuel his power trip, not push things with dd, (agree a calm I love you and your room will always be here waiting for you would be good to send via school) and wait.

It sounds like dd may not want to be at your house at this time. It may be being the only child in the household is a relief for her. But at 13 she'll vote with her feet as to where she wants to be, and she will in time come to realise for herself that life with dad isn't all sunshine and roses either.
