I feel for you, I truly do but I can see your girls getting hurt my your actions... not physically but just more crap piled on them. When my grandma was placed in hospice one of my aunts physically assaulted another aunt, she grabbed her so hard she completely broke blood vessels in her arm, her whole arm was bruised from the shoulder to her wrist... her Drs wanted her to call the cops and report the assault... but given the circumstances she did not. Emotions run high, people say things at times of hurt, especially to people they don’t care for. Step Moms response was not nice obviously but it’s not like you two have a relationship with her. I don’t see her being a threat to your children or you... it’s all words. You’ve said your piece and now it’s time just to let the courts work.
Calling the cops and CAS when you are basically in the midst of a custody battle doesn’t help your case. How many people pull these stunts? Let the case work through the courts, have your lawyer contact her lawyer and request access as per the order you have. Don’t contact step mom again. You’re in court soon... file what you have to and let your lawyer work out the access with her lawyer... I can’t imagine being away from my children but you need to give the courts a chance to work in your favour. Calling the cops and CAS is just going to make things worse for you and in turn... your girls.
Remember... a 14 year old can legally move out (had this happen to a friend 6 years ago... while different story though) and cops will not do anything... so you need to make sure you’re following the processes and listening to what your children want/need. No court order will force a 14 year old to stay where they don’t want to. Don’t do something that’s going to cause the relationship with your children to deteriorate further.
