I have a problem that I need advice on:
D10 has been having an increasing emotional stress and anxiety that has affected school, home and her personal life. She gotten very emotional at school so much so that we got a counsellor for her last year. The counsellor and doctors have indicated coparenting/communication counselling with my ex and I as we parent differently.
We have little communication and have joint custody.
Recently my I received an email from my ex's address (from his wife) that our daughter had "physically and emotionally threatened" their oldest daughter because she said she would tell the counsellor about the fighting between the girls?. Im not 100% sure what happened as I wasn't there. The stepmother said that they are used to our daughters "lies" but the normal punishment isn't working. She said their kids never lie and its always just our daughter.
After coming back to my house our daughter told me that her fighting with her sisters has increased the last few months and her father told her he doesnt know what to do with her anymore cause she lies so much, and if she continues he's not her father anymore. She was so upset, as she was adamant that she was telling the truth. She even understands that there are different points of view between her sister and her, that they can both be telling their version of the truth, but she gets in trouble all the time. She then proceeded to tell me that she felt like she wanted to run away to go to a neighbours house to use the phone to call me as she isn't always allowed to call me. This scares me. At this point her counsellor said I need to call the ministry because of threat to run away, but isn't this a little much?
