My ex and I (never married) have a 3 year old daughter together. I have sole custody and he sees her a couple of times a week. Today I was dropping her off at his house and she said she didn't want to go to daddy's house. I asked why and she said, "I don't like him." I probed a little more and she came out with, "I'm scared of him." She genuinely sounded scared. We didn't have time to get into it more in depth. This is the first time she's said something like that but not the first time she's said she didn't want to see daddy. She doesn't even like to talk to him on the phone. But when he came to get her out of the car, she seemed happy to see him. Probably because he always has some sort of gift/toy for her.Now the other day he and I yelled at each other, just another string of fights, while the three of us were in the car. That's what happens when he and I are together, so I try to minimize the amount of time we spend together. It could be due to that. Maybe she's scared he'll yell at her. I'm not often around when they're together so I don't know how things are when the two of them are alone. I'm sure he doesn't physically harm her (though he's hit me in the past, part of the reason we're not together).I'm going to try to find out more from her as I can, but you know that getting info from a 3 year old isn't the easiest thing to do. I'm worried about her. I don't know what to do. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2mZIk88
