Hi, I'm a bit at my Witts end and not sure who to turn to. Friends I don't want to disturb and all that. Myself and my ex have been split for around 4 months. She will not communicate with me in any way so we instructed solicitors. I've begged for her to just discuss things but she won't respond. I left her for several reasons but I know she's feeling pain with the split. At the moment I pickup my Autistic daughter who 5 every Friday drop her off on a Sunday eve. She's been getting more and more upset until tonight when she point blank refused to even get out of the car. I had to really wrestle to get her out after 20 min of trying to reason. She was fighting me up the drive and then in hysterics when my ex mother come out to greet her (my ex won't even come to the door). Now I haven't cried in 20 years but tonight just broke me. I told my ex I was taking her back to mine but then it kicked off and I didn't want my daughter to see any of that. I hugged her for 30 minutes on the driveway the whole time she was saying daddy car and daddy house telling the others to go away. What am I causing that child to go through? I feel like I'm emotionally scarring her each time and it just kills me. I honestly don't know what to do. I really feel like not seeing my beautiful daughter at all is the only way I can stop her from being in weekly pain but then I'll cause more pain. I just don't want her to be upset in any way. Is there anyone who may have gone through similar and can give me some advice? Thank you
