Hi all I need some opinions regarding my DD (7)s relationship with her Dad.
The really issue is the constant lies from soon to be EXH , he seems to lie about the most trivial of things and it's starting to worry me. For example he's told me of their plans for this week (we agreed to a week each this holidays) but when Ive spoken to DD none of what he said appears to be true i.e trips, glamping meeting with friends even the time off work hes told me hes got isn't true. She's been left with his new partners parents and basically just sat in their home for the majority of the time he's had her. This is a common theme and when he's confronted he denies what he's said or done even when I have the plans in writing.
I understand plans change but not at this frequency, sometimes he will tell me their going away and then I find that's not the case meaning I don't know where she is as I'm told one thing then he does another.
He's also awkward about me speaking to her ,(just for context this is usually every other day.) and lies and says they're busy,which I later discover is untrue.
He is taking her abroad in summer and due to the consistent lies I'm worried that if something happened he wouldn't tell me the truth or stop her speaking with me. DD has already said she's not sure she wants to go, should I tell him he can't take her?
TIA
