[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that a 12 year old's voice should be heard in the custody process. I think their preferences should be taken into account. But I also think that 12 year olds are emotionally volatile and impulsive, and that major decisions shouldn't revolve around what they say to you in the middle of a difficult moment when they're upset about something that isn't their business. I can guarantee that at some point she's going to be upset that you set a limit, or embarrassed her and call her mother upset. Respond to this in the way you'd want her mother to respond when she does it to you. I'm also not sure what the fact that her brother is homeschooled or SN has to do with this. [/quote]Agree with the above. But I also think it’s a good idea to allow her to have some space from her mother and allow her to spend more time with you. During this period mom and daughter need to be in counseling to work through the daughter’s feelings.[/quote]
