Oh, and the aunt she sniped at replied (paraphrasing), "I know this is probably just meant for certain of your friends, but since it's on Facebook I'm going respond - that really sucks."
I wonder if he saw your family as some semblance of normalcy for the kid, and now that she's on her own, he's worried the kid will have no discipline or guidance whatsoever.
I don't know about that. I don't think he sees CS's behavior as a problem either. For example, CS used to talk all the time about playing with some kids who are his dad's neighbors, and then he just stopped talking about them. And he used to talk about playing with his cousins on his dad's side, and that stopped also.
The dad has his own issues. Lost a job b/c of anger issues, etc.
I wonder if her ex's attorney will call on you and your family to give a deposition as to what you have observed about their behaviors in your mom' home. If I were his attorney, you guys would be the first people I would depose.

I wonder that too.
This is the guy that almost 2 hrs late to his son's birthday party b/c he was rock climbing. And another time, he decided to not take his weekend visitation at the last minute (again to go rock climbing) and we had to take CS with us to the lake.
This guy is a lousy parent. But is he less lousy than Cousin?
Jeez, OD. That poor kid is royally screwed. Now I wonder if money is a factor - if she's finishing her residency and going to be making what daddy considers big bucks, he may think "ooh, child support, $$ in my pocket".
Money might be a factor. Apparently he is frequently late with support. But at this point, he makes almost 10x what cousin makes. He is also a doctor, while she is doing a residency.
It might be for the best. Or maybe he'll just dump CS with his mom.
