My daughter, aged 13, is having real difficulties spending time with her dad. Myself and her dad have been separated now for almost 10 years and she has always spent time with him and slept over. She will now not go and says it’s because he is mean to her. We’ve spent a lot of time working on this and it’s not reality, but more her perception. Her perception of things in life is often very negative and exaggerated to the worst it could be. This is putting a huge strain on my current relationship and her dad is understandably very upset that she won’t see him and speaks of him in such a negative way. We have reached out to GPs, CAMHS, Mindmate etc but all have significant waiting lists. If anyone has any help, advice or support, I would be very grateful.
