Gymnastics Interference 1

This was the first time Christy had gone this far. It was on February 11, 2011. We had not been allowed to bring April with us since December 8, 2010. 

On Christmas, we saw her for a few hours. Read about that nightmare here. (Click Here)

In 6 years Christy has rarely  showed up for April's Saturday morning gymnastics practice, and never showed up with her daughter Kaylee and Mike in tow, even though it is 5 minutes from her house. I drive 2 hours every single weekend to be there from start to finish--3 hours.

Later on Christy tries to say that this never happened and that for the last 3 weekends she thought I was picking Megan up.
On Friday I text Christy letting her know that I am picking up April after gymnastics and I ask her not to interfere. 
She showed up at gymnastics practice 15 minutes before it was over with her husband and their older daughter. In 5 years Christy had never showed up to Saturday gymnastics practice. Since then she has shown up about 3 more times. One of those times she brought an entourage, or as one of the other gymnastics parents put it, 'reinforcement.' With the help of reinforcements, April was escorted off the gymnastics floor and to Christy's car and I was, once again, unable to bring April with me. (See video)

I am kindly requesting that u do not interfere with my picking her up and do not tell her that she doesn't have to come with me. Please.

I didn't receive any response from Christy. This is usually a sign that there is nothing good to come as you will see.

Christy shows up at Gym

Its about 10 minutes before gymnastics practice is over, Christy, Mike and Kaylee have just marched in from the back of the gym. 
 When I ask Christy what she is doing there, she claims she is there to watch April. 
Note how she is reading her text book.
Notice at the end of the video Michael and Kaylee laughing at the fact that I am not getting to see our daughter again. This will be a common theme with Mike and Kaylee seemingly getting a kick out of me not seeing April.

The Next Day...

The next day, I receive this text message from Christy.

Joe i have great concerns regarding ur behavior. I did not give  u permission to video tape me as this behavior reflects irrational behavior on your part. April  had over herd mike and i talk about what you did and she claims you also have done this to her. I fear your actions are making our daughter emotinally unstable as she continues to express her dislike of you. I suggest you put your opinions and ill feelings of me aside and try to.work out a relationship with me and my husband. This would result in a better relationship with April . I pray for you and your family and hope to hear from you soon. @
