It appears she thrives on fucking up your day.
I can sympathise with that, daughter's mother would take any opportunity to spoil something good by starting a fight or something to keep me under control, on edge, etc. The only thing I can suggest is do not organise such things over text messages - calls only, therefore making things easier and clearer to discuss. That, or superglue her to a bull and flick its lovespuds with a towel.

What upset me most of all
was being screamed at in front of my daughter when I took her back. She just sat in her little chair in the corner of the sitting room whilst I got it with both barrels. It was horrible.

Poor girl
It's not good for her to grow up like that. Have you tried telling your ex that that's not good for the girl? I know she's mad, but she'll still want the best for her daughter, I hope.

If she does that in front of your daughter, believe me, she will grow up knowing who's the mental and who's the (relatively) stable influence in her life.
I know it sucks balls, it's fucking horrible and I empathise every time you come back with a story like this, but I can suggest it will get easier as she gets older. Hang in there, she seems lovely and you're a (fundamentally) good person.

Talk about emasculated. I feel utterly heartbroken.
