DD is 6. Not old enough to have her views listened to by the Court.
She has had a very long period of progressed contact which is now at overnight stage. DD returns every time in a traumatised state and says she doesn't want to go. She's been kicking and screaming and clinging onto me at handovers. She tells me she misses me so much (which of course is natural and normal) and her dad isn't kind to her and says horrible things about me. Her dad is an abuser. He's emotionally and physically abused DD but managed to convince the court he's sorry and they've progressed contact. DD is now starting to reject him. Her father is coming to two events and DD has said she's not speaking to him or acknowledging him. I'm trying to acknowledge her feelings but I've said to her she can at least say hello to him then I find myself hating myself for forcing her.
DD has disclosed to school how she's felt and some of the things her dad has done. Her dad denies everything. There's been two reports to children's social care also.
We're currently still in court proceedings until the end of the year and DD has the most awful Cafcass Guardian who is completely father bias. The father can do no wrong in her eyes. I've tried to raise this to her and she's twisted the narrative as that DD knows my views on her dad and is likely not telling the truth to appease me. None of which is true. I'm very careful not to project anything onto DD. I don't speak badly about contact or her dad to her. I have encouraged her to include her dad in things such as father's day and Christmas crafts making etc. I bought a present for her to give her dad on father's day. She's never missed one contact with him..there's nothing more I can do.
I'm scared of her rejection of him now and if I force her to do anything it'll cause more damage.
I'm in an impossible position where the Guardian has threatened me twice with a transfer of residence if I cannot be seen to actively promote her dad and contact.
I don't know what to do.
