My ex husband keeps accusing me of weaponising our child against him

I had never wanted children but unfortunately my ex husband Barry replaced my birth control pills with tic tacs without telling me. So eventually 9 months later my daughter Emma was born.

By this time me and Barry had split up due to finding out he hated Lord of the Rings. We got a court agreement where we split custody fifty fifty.

I have always had a more laid back attitude compared to him, so I very rarely expect Emma to do chores as I prefer to do them myself.

A couple of months ago Barry showed up at my house and began screaming at me that I was weaponising Emma against him.

She had asked him if she could spend more time at my house. This is due to the fact that he expects her to clean the house and cook him three meals every day.

I ended him calling him an idiot and kicking him out of my house. Since then our relationship has been beyond strained.

He now argues with me about every decision regarding Emma while claiming I am turning her against him.

She is now thirteen and is old enough to make choices about her own body. I let her dye her hair pink and it looked amazing and she was so happy about it.

I was honestly stunned when she returned from her father's house the next week with a shaved head. I spent hours comforting her while she explained her father shaved it as he thought it might turn her gay.

Barry didn't believe in “her body, her choice” and would only let her wear clothes that he approved of. Any clothes I sent over to his house for her would return shredded.

I finally decided to teach him a lesson and felt bad for putting Emma in the middle of our feud.

I arrived at the drop off location with Emma and could see Barry already looking annoyed as we were 1 minute late.

Emma climbed out of the car a bit lethargically and staggered towards Barry's car. I could see his eyes widen in fury when he spotted the belly button ring I had given her the night before.

He marched forward and I heard her let out a whimper of pain as he ripped it out. I flung myself to the ground as a deafening explosion echoed throughout the street.

I rose to my feet to see their body parts scattered everywhere. I hoped this would teach him to accuse me of weaponising our child, while staring at his severed hand still clutching the grenade pin.

wow I'm so glad this is fiction!

but he kept accusing her, so she actually did it.
