In early summer, DS5 didn't want to go, he had separation anxiety, was bed wetting and wouldn't go to school without crying which was all new.
I worked hard and got him through this.
Late summer, DD doesn't want to go.
stbxh has EOW access, not divorced yet, he lives with OW but she isn't the problem directly to the children. I think she is the problem indirectly that he bows to her desires etc and has changed his personality. He also looks so different, full beard, long hair. It's been 2 years since he left.
I don't want to drip feed, but don't want to make this really long.
At age 8, should I make her go? If she stops going, her brother will too.
I feel slightly responsible. Around 6 weeks ago on my weekend, I mentioned without thinking that I don't like my dad (it was at the dinner table, I was telling them about how strict my dad had been about table manners). DD head whipped round when I said it.
But on their last visit, she cried and wanted to come home early. He had told them off. Don't want to make this too long to elaborate.
She's pretty quiet and a non chatty child. It's hard to get any real info out of her about her feelings. But she has sobbed Thur for an hour. Fri for 30 mins before he collected and I've had him messaging all weekend that she is crying and not eating and wants to come home.
So I came back home early (at my boyfriends an hour away) and he knew my eta, but stbxh is now 'just leaving the shops'. Where's the urgency gone
