My stbx (I am new, what does that mean?)and I have been separated for 3 months now. My daughter has been unwilling to stay overnight with him. I have asked him to take them camping next weekend as I really need a break. He doesn't interact with the kids much (I have a 12 yr old son too) but apart from that he is an OK dad. Our separation is mutual and we are on fairly good terms.
So should I insist that she goes with him or what. I think counseling might help but not sure where to find a good counselor. I am in north phoenix, az.
I know she will have a great time if she does go. I just don't want to make things worse but need to take care of me too. Her brother is quite happy to go so he would be there too.
Appreciate some help here. Thanks.
