| 0:00.0 | Ex-husband ruins my daughter's life because he doesn't like that I make more money than him. |
| 0:06.0 | I have a daughter, Sadie, with my ex-husband John. |
| 0:10.0 | We got divorced five years ago, and I have primary custody while he sees her two weekends a month. |
| 0:16.0 | Last year, he got married to Amanda, who has sole custody of her kids, from a previous marriage. Amanda is a stay-at-home |
| 0:22.9 | mum, not for any health reasons or so on, she just doesn't want to work, while John works 9 to 5. |
| 0:28.8 | He makes good money to support them, but not enough to live in luxury. I have a much higher-paying job. |
| 0:34.7 | Since it's just me and Sadie, I make sure she has the best possible life. |
| 0:38.6 | She goes to a private school, I set her up a college fund, and she has much better things than |

| 1:18.3 | the clothes they buy from Target. I asked her if she wanted them back, but she said she didn't mind |
| 1:23.6 | sharing, since all of her favorite clothes were kept here. The problem came when I went to pick |
| 1:28.7 | her up last weekend. I had a business meeting and I couldn't drive her over, so Amanda offered to |
| 1:33.8 | just pick up Sadie from school, which hadn't happened before. When I got there on Sunday, |
| 1:38.4 | John and Amanda asked me to sit down with them, and when Sadie came to hug me, Amanda sent her to |
| 1:43.4 | her room quite harshly, saying |
