Apologies as I did post about this the other day but I'm still really unsure about what to do.
Bit of background:
Ex-DP and I separated when dd was 2- she is now 6. He went back to live in Northern Ireland after we separated and now lives there with his mum and dad.
DD has been going over to stay with him on occasions since. She is due to go over this Christmas as we take it in turns. The flights have been booked and they are all really looking forward to having her.
However, DD is saying she doesn't want to go. She is getting quite stressed about it. She was crying and kicking her bedroom door- behaviour which is totally out of character for her.
He has been shit at maintaining contact since the last visit and has called her only a handful of times. He rang last night and she refused to speak to him.
I don't know what to do for the best.
I feel like I am asking her to make quite a grown up decision.
She asked me today if I could 'wash her brain so she didn't have to think about it anymore'
