Daughter “cries and is inconsolable” when going to her mother’s.
I do not know the specifics of my ex’s situation, because she is very tight-lipped about it, but she recently asked for custody on the weekends only. I agreed and have no problem with that change. Our daughter was fine about it, too. Lately, though, our daughter has become increasingly reluctant to stay with her mother and says, “Mommy is never home.” Apparently, my ex is away when she has custody.
They are decent people, and I have no issues with them, but it has gotten to the point where my daughter is constantly asking, practically begging, to stay with me. And during custody exchanges, she cries and is inconsolable for a long time. Her mother almost never picks her up, and it is usually the aunt. It has gotten worse the past few months. No amount of discussion or assuaging seems to mitigate this unless/until I relent and let her stay with me.Sometimes I hold firm and say she must go.
But the fuzzy goal of a “decent relationship with her mother” is not a persuasive reason to send an “inconsolable” child off to be babysat for days on end against her will. If she were close to the aunt or grandma, then different answer. Just being with family does not automatically create a bond.· My stepfather was a monster. Took years to tell my dad, and when I did, his answer was my mom exaggerates. I will never forget it, and I took great pains never to ask for help again.
