My 10 year old daughter is refusing to have any contact with her father because she is afraid of him. She has for the last couple of years spent a lot of time with him and there is a Court Order in place stating that there is shared care but she is adamant that she will not go and see him and is extremely distressed by the situation. She has had some contact with him over the telephone but now says that she doesn't want to talk to him on the phone either and is again becoming very upset about it and worried every time the phone rings. I am desperate to help her and protect her welfare at the same time as trying to reason with why she feels the way she does. My ex does have anger issues and I believe that this is the underlying reason for her not wanting to go. My son still goes to his fathers house as normal but my daughter gets very upset that he goes. My ex is now threatening me with legal action over my daughter not going to see him and refuses to see that there is an issue between the two of them, instead he is blaming me for the situation. Any advice on this would be very much appreciated.

This thread's five years old and as it's a fairly sensitive one we're going to close it now so it doesn't keep getting bumped into Active Conversations - we're not sure the OP would want it reanimated after all these years.
