[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 361680, member: 2322"] Another thought. I know how hard it would be to let your daughter go live with her dad. But from what you describe, it is ruining your mental health, not helping your son, and I can imagine it not helping your marriage. Your ex's wife may not want it. but it seems like the only leverage you have at this point. It seems like your daughter needs a big wake up call. I am betting that within a certain period of time she would be back with you and perhaps yo would have greater bargaining power. Perhaps in the long run it would be better off if the alternative is no therapy or medications because of resistance from ex. Also-- I am not an expert in divorce law by any means. But when children get to be a certain age, don't they get more freedom to choose? Is there any hope of getting a guardian at litem appointed for her that would mandate evaluation and treatment? Have you looked into what your legal options are? It is hard enough to deal with our child difficult children much less our spouse difficult children. Let us know what happens. [/QUOTE]
