Hi everyone, my 7 year old daughter has autism. Myself and her Dad are separating. He met someone else earlier in the year and moved out in October. He has moved 3 hours away with his new girlfriend and two children.
My daughter has stayed in the new house twice and stays on an air bed in one of the child's rooms. The first time she came back my ex didn't bring her back until 8pm on the Sunday, she was so tired she missed school the next day, this then created a lot of anxiety as she was worried about missing school. The second time was last week so school holidays. It took 3 days for my daughter to seem herself, she slept more than usual and just wanted to rest which is unlike her. She also was asking me if I loved her over and over again.
I've told my ex my concerns but he doesn't agree and feels I'm being a difficult ex. He usually just ignores me when I bring things like this up. He wants my daughter to stay every other weekend but I feel this would only be feasible in school holidays due to how tired/anxious she gets.
I wanted other people's opinions so I know I'm doing the right thing for my daughter and her autism. What do you think is best?
