If you tell any counselor or therapist about your daughter sleeping with Daddy, they are legally obligated to call Child Protective Services. So you don't have to make that call, it will be done for you.

Hi Meadow, I hope you have decided to do something about this situation with your daughter. Will you let us know please? I was worried by what you said in your posts and would like to hear what you thought about our responses to you. Thanks Meadow, P

I have already spoken to my daughter's counselor and my personal counselor about it.  It is on the agenda for a case conference that the two of them are setting up.  This situation is very complicated legally and emotionally.  The sad thing about all of this is when I first spoke to Social Services quite a few months ago they said it is very hard to prove "emotional abuse".  Also, I am living in a province where our social programs have been cut and those children who have broken bones and physical marks get priority.  Unfortunately we all know how deep and serious emotional abuse is.  Thank you for your feed-back and validation of my "gut instincts".  I was already moving ahead on this before the posts came in.  What everyone said confirmed what I knew.  Being in this is like being in a fog or some kind of brain-washing environment.
I will keep you updated once I know more details.
Thank you,
Meadow

Meadow,

I'm slightly  :?  by you now. On Friday you told us you hadn't told your child's counsellor yet, and that that was something you were going to do.
 :lol:  Care to explain the contradiction? I'm interested.

Sure.....B.S.D.   When I made the first post I phoned my daughter's counselor and left a message on her voice mail. She wasn't available to talk in person.   In the mean time she and my counselor have phoned between them and have gotten back to me.  

Now, I am waiting to hear what the next step will be.
