Let me start with a little back story. My soon to be husband and myself have been fighting his ex girlfriend in a pretty nasty custody battle up until last December when final order came back.His ex had accused him of sexually abusing his then 3 year old daughter. However, an investigation turned up that not only was there no proof, but the story had changed multiple times. DD (dear daughter) was subjected to a forensic interview and TWO play therapists. The first place therapist refused to treat her anymore and wrote in her report that she had "serious concerns of mom pathologizing child."After DH (dear husband) had been cleared multiple times by many social workers, our DHS social worker wanted to pursue charges against mom for psychological abuse but could not because of lack of evidence. Come to find out that mom has been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder twice in her 24 years of life.We hired a guardian en litum and halfway through his report, mom was accepted to Texas AM and announced her decision to move from Colorado to Corpus Christi with DD. Even though the guardian en litum recommended in his final report that DD should remain in this state with her father, the judge ruled she was allowed to move to Texas with her mother.We received about 80 overnights a year and have DD right now for summer vacation and mom is responsible for all travel expenses.Since my DD has been with us, I have serious concerns for her metal health. She's an all around happy and good kid but she's incredibly manipulative, just like her mother. All kids lie, but she lies randomly and for her own personal gain, A LOT. the other day she told me she likes getting hurt because it gets her attention.My question is; How can we teach her that this is wrong in an age appropriate manner? I'm so concerned she's inherited her mother's mental illness. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2tgijqP
