you would want to consult an Oklahoma attorney, but my read would be 1) this is one divorcing person with another--let their attorneys handle it; if they have decided not to use attorneys, be aware that the person texted is getting free information, ammunition possibly.

CT scan revealed that 1 screw was accidentally placed in the middle of the transverse foramen of C1 vertebrae causing pinching and possibly more to the verterbral artery. The surgeon seems reluctant to do anything about it, which is unsettling.

Not sure why the step mother is doing anything with your child. You need to assert your parental rights. Your daughter may benefit from EMDR treatment which is used for people with PTSD. You should talk to child protective services about the step mother's involvement.
