Question
I am a single divorced mother of three year old twins. I have a home. My ex-husband, the Twins' father, lives with his parents. We have split custody. While at my home about six months ago one of the twins started saying to the father (either in person or on phone): go away, leave me alone, I don't want to talk to you. About two months ago she started saying "I don't want to go to school (daycare). I don't like school. I don't want to go to (granparents names) house (where father lives). I don't like daddy." She will melt down and cry. Both twins are potty trained, but there have been times when father calls to say he will pick them up the next day the twin mentioned above will urinate on the floor multiple times after his call. She has told me she doesn't want to ride in his car. She doesn't want to go to sleep at night anymore. I keep telling her I love her, she is a good girl and everything will be ok. I don't know how to help her because I cannot stop them from going with father because of split custody. How can I help her? I know this is affecting her sibling.
