I'm not sure where to start really, I separated from my ex of 17 years last year in 2019, we have a daughter together.
My ex was very controlling and our daughter has witnessed when he has been physical towards me, which police have been involved. Since I left him I do want our daughter to still see him and have a father daughter relationship but this has become quite strained because of what he has done. But recently things have got worse to the extent she wants nothing to do with him.

Almost every weekend that he has he he calls me complaining about her attitude. E.g she doesn't want to do something he's asked her to do.
He used to call her everyday and she told him she didn't want to talk him everyday and that she would talk every other day. He say no that's not happening and tried to force it. I spoke to her school and they said he shouldn't be forcing her to do that.

The most recent is he took her away at the beginning on holidays to see his family in Cornwall within 24 hours he called complaining about her attitude. His punishment was to bring her back early. He told her he's had enough of her and me and that she only goes round to get things out of him. (He doesn't pay towards her at all, he buys her teddies)

So she has blocked him and I have as well because I've had enough of him upsetting her all the time he's emotionally abusing her.

I wondered if anyone else has been through the same thing. I have been looking at counselling for my daughter, some sort of supervised visitation or mediation. Bit then I think this is his fault why should I be making an effort when all he's done he tried to call. He did say he came to the house and it was all open but yet didn't knock on the door to attempt to see his daughter.
