I'm not sure which topic would be best for this, so please move if this isn't correct.
I have a DD aged 8 and in the last 3 months discovered that Ex has been ruthlessly badmouthing me and my family to DD. She's in tears, her head hurts, has developed tummy aches and generally in a very sad state.
He's telling her things wholly inappropriate for her age, such as I kicked him out. I started the divorce. That I'm a liar, that I'm poor. That her siblings are untrustworthy, unemployed horrible people. That we're going to be kicked out of our house. That I'm just awful and so is everyone else.
He's saying things to her and to everyone he meets whilst around her.
She's a shell of the bright bubbly girl she was and I'm trying everything to build her up and alleviate her worries.
He puts her to bed with him at his bed time, telling her how scary the dark is. That people break into houses etc.
I'd there any advice anyone can give so I can protect her and make her feel better.
