Please help me
In a very small but bursting at the seams nutshell....my 11yr old has told her father that she has a terrible life at home and is always told off and is soooo hard done by!! She has 'embellished' on the truth about lots of situations and told maybe 5% of a whole story to him so that he feels sorry for her!! The problem is he believes every word that she says and fuels her dramatic fire even more. She could literally tell him that she is kept under the stairs and her would believe her!!
He is not a reasonable normal thinking person who has any idea how a pre teens mind works so dealing with him or even just sitting to speak to him is not an option. He laughs and shouts me down infront of her.
Don't get me wrong sometimes she hasn't lied....yes she will get shouted at and told off....but what she doesn't explain is why...when shes told to do something 5 times and still doesnt for example! But he doesn't think like an adult to question these things.
We have had to involve the police because he has threatened us and now he is saying he is going to involve ss. Surely in my mind they will see she is a dramatic 11yr old hormonal girl who just doesn't realize the enormity of the things she is saying.
