My daughter has indirect contact now with her father. He spent months shouting at her during his contact time and neglect. She voiced these to the social worker who recommended indirect which is now court ordered interim. Unfortunately the judge can’t understand what is making her scared. Even though shouting and neglect is a form of emotional abuse. So now the next stage is to attend with a psychologist with the father and daughter to speak with her and see if anything can be determined as to what is causing the fear. I’m not really agreeable to this as the father is an angry person which is why I separated from him. Has anyone else had to do something like this. I’m hoping the psychologist can at least report back that shouting is definitely emotional abuse.
