Emotional abuse of a child?
Paul<3Deanna asked:
My husbands ex girlfriend and him have a 10 year old daughter. Mom’s best friend has emailed him letting him know that she believes the mother is emotionally abusing the child by using her as a support person and making her feel bad for having fun when she comes to visit us. The best friend doesn’t want the mother to know that she told us. We suspected anyway, but the friend confirmed the conversations. We have a court date and my husband is asking for temporary full custody in light of this information. Do we sell the best friend of the mothers out and give the judge her emails telling of the emotional abuse or do we just risk the judge believing him when he tells the judge of the abuse.
Some of the things mom does are… making the daughter take out beads from her hair that she put in at our house the moment she walked in the door and telling her never to put them in again. Just stuff like that. Her mom gets mad if she says she has fun here.
I don’t want dad to burn a bridge with the mothers best friend because she kind of keeps an eye on things with the daughter.
It’s very sad. The daughter is very immature, as the mother does not let her think for herself. The mother decides everything for her.- what to eat- how to wear her hair.
The daughter is very behind in emotional development. Perhaps because of the treatment by her mother.
