Walking alone in the dark

[Mcee]

A couple of nights a week my 15yr old daughter stays at her fathers house.
He has never agreed on certain parenting issues and despite them being important and making my life difficult (daughter behaviour) I've let them go for the sake of my sanity.
One issue that I can't let go of is the fact he his happy for her to go out, alone, after dark, walking the dog, and she was gone at least half an hour, and was not 5 minutes away as he told me.

I personally don't think it's safe for a small young girl to be wandering around, (he lives on the outskirts of a big city) I just don't want understand when he thinks it's ok.
I've tried reasoning with him but he just ignores it now and does what he wants. Other than this and a few other issues we try and be united for the sake of her.

What can I do?

But surely you would be pleased that the counselling appears to have worked if she is happy to be out for 30 mins in the dark walking the dog.

Or do you mean the ex is forcing her to go and locking her out?

Does she view it as progress after her therapy to walk the dog after dark?

Im surprised at all the comments suggesting its not a worry for a single female to be walking alone after dark. Its just not safe to walk alone for women period. I’m glad she has a dog with her! I am constantly having arguments with my 13 year old daughter when she stays out late after dark and walks home by herself. Its a legitimate worry. Why doesn’t he go with her? Im going to enrol my daughetr in self defense classes and the more we know how to keep ourselves safe is all we can do. However we can cut the risk by NOT putting ourselves in a risky position in the first place. I agree with you and you are totally not ober reacting! I think you can do is be calm and state the importance of safety to your ex. But to be honest I don’t know what else you can do? I’m surprised her father isnt more protective of her and is sending his daughter out after dark alone especially after whats happened?! I personally think it sounds negligent. Some towns and areas I’m sure are safe. I live in a city and have had COUNTLESS situations where I have been in danger, and it is always under the cover of darkness. I wish you and your daughter well and hope she recovers well from her trauma.
