I am in a tough situation with a neglectful coparent and a joint custody order. We are currently working through filing medical neglect, which leads me to inconsistency in households. When the kids come home from their dads my 5yo has extremely aggressive jealousy towards my 7yo. I have caught her choking her sister saying “stop trying to be cuter than me” as well as my 7yo coming home with deep scratches on her body saying her sister got mad at her.
I have tried many tactics, but it seems to be getting worse and she is more easily angered. I cannot control what happens over there and the communication is nonexistent, I’m just at a loss with how to help her convey her emotions without harm.
