Aita for not letting my ex husband have our daughter for New years day?

I (39F) was married to my ex-husband Tom (40) for 7 years.

After our daughter was born, he divorced me for his mistress.

He almost always cancelled on our daughter and always shrugged it off.

Saying that his no. 1 priority was his girlfriend.

This woman was appalled to know the reason why her ex-husband canceled on their daughter once again.

But it came crashing down the week before Christmas.

He cancelled on my daughter.

When I asked why he needed to cancel, he said:

“My new girlfriend doesn’t like our daughter, so she can’t come over.”

I was appalled and my daughter was super upset about it.

She learned that his new girlfriend broke up with him.

So when the week before New Year’s Eve came around, my ex-husband called and asked if our daughter could come over.

I said, “I thought your new wife hated our daughter.” He broke down crying.

Apparently, on Christmas Eve he bought a ring and proposed, but she didn’t like the ring and broke up with him.

I yelled that he always cancelled on our daughter and always shrugged it off.

But the moment his ex-girlfriend breaks up with him, he wants to see her.

She refused to let her daughter see him on New Year’s Eve.

Honestly, I said no because of all the times he’s upset her.

He got upset with me and he actually said, “But now, I’m available to her for a little while.”

I hung up.

My daughter ended up going to her grandma’s (my ex-MIL’s) house, and they had a wonderful time.

Her daughter and her ex-MIL enjoyed their time together.

They saw the Wicked movie.

They got some snacks and drinks and pulled an all-nighter.

My daughter was excited to tell me everything.

But now, my ex-husband is acting like everything is all my fault.

So now I’m wondering, AITA for not letting my ex-husband see our daughter for New Year’s?
