[quote=Anonymous]My wife and I have been separated for the past 7 months. I moved out of the Master bedroom to the guest room and she kept the Master bedroom for her and our child who is 10. I have tried for years to get my wife to allow our daughter to sleep in her own room/bed but she wants our daughter sleeping in the Master bedroom with her.

The problem is that my wife keeps our daughter locked up in the Master bedroom for hours at a time. For example on the weekends they will lay together in bed for 12-13 hours per day playing video games, sleeping, eating etc. They literally won't leave the room for hours. My wife works from home and picks our daughter up from school and she brings daughter upstairs into the Master bedroom immediately and they stay in there all night even eating dinner in the bed. She doesn't let our daughter out of her sight and always has to have her up underfoot. 
 
My wife is a narcissist and control freak and verbally and emotionally abusive. I have endured this for over 20 years but can't take it anymore. The only reason I have stayed is for our child. Since I want out of the marriage my wife is now punishing me by keeping our daughter from me. My wife is using our daughter to manipulate and control me and has been purposely interfering in our relationship.

I already know what she's capable of because for years she separated my daughter and I from my side of the family. We always had to go to her family events and she never came to any of mine or let my daughter come with me to see my side of the family. She completely cut off my child's relationship with her grandmother (my mom) and claims that she's right in doing so because my mom is crazy.

I tried to speak with wife about getting a separation and custody agreement in place but she told me "I'm not making a schedule to see my daughter!"  I proposed 50/50 split so we get equal parenting time. I also tried to file a petition for custody while separated at the courthouse so that I can get some quality time with my daughter but I found out that I cannot file for this since we all live in the same house.

The current environment is toxic and hostile and unhealthy for all of us and I want to move out but I'm afraid that if I do she will refuse to allow me to see my daughter at all. Wife has already brainwashed our daughter and coached her what to say. I was talking to our daughter recently and I asked her to come out and spend time with daddy and she said "I am there of my own will. I want to be in the room."  With each day that passes I am being further isolated from our child and it hurts. Please help.
