There has been a referral because my 7 year old child has been mistreated by their father. The father was coercively controlling to me and has imposed control on my child which may have negatively impacted their physical health.
The ex is devious and will definitely minimise, lie, characterise me as being at fault somehow.
I have been keeping a log of my child's feelings (they say that their father is mean and that they hate him, but can't or won't give details).
How will this work? Will SS be interested in all the details that I can share? I truly think that my ex is a dangerous and controlling person who has created a culture of fear for my child, and I am worried about this getting swept under the rug.
AIBU?

@FunLurker my child doesn't like talking to anyone about their feelings or experiences as a rule. Even me - though I think I get the most privileged access.
My child's best friend's mum (also my friend) told me that my child confided in them about being terrified of their father and hating him. Would they want to know about this? I think it's really important that they understand how fearful he makes everyone despite not being physically violent.

@KreedKafer I'm so frightened about this process.
