Ok, imagine this... let's say your daughter's Dad is still alive but you and he are apart and he's moved on with another woman. You go to pick your daughter up from their house and he's saying "Tell Mommy Girlfriend goodbye!"... how would that make you feel? And I agree with others, now is not the time for him to get nitpicked while he's in rehab. Although I don't agree with him hurtfully "taking the label back", it was purely a defensive move when he felt under attack by you.
