[quote=Anonymous]I've been in your shoes.  It isn't therapy for daughter or your W that is going to save your daughter.  YOU need to save her by getting her away from her mother and you know that.  Stop waiting on your W to do something she doesn't want to do at the cost of your daughter's mental health.

You are wasting precious time while your W does nothing and your daughter gets worse.  Don't wait for your W to take action.  You need to get off your ass and put your daughter first.  The sympathy you get by posting here is worth exactly nothing.  No one here can help you.  You need to help yourself.  Not waste time posting about it.

At 16, she is old enough to tell a judge which parent she wants to live with.  Get yourself and your daughter away from that toxic environment now.  Take her and move out right away.

You don't need any agreements in place, attorneys, or judges involved to do that.  Just go rent a place and move out now.  You can deal with all the fallout of your failed marriage later but move now to protect your daughter.

Until there is actually a visitation order in place, forbid your W from seeing your daughter.  There isn't a damn thing she can do about it.  When you do start fighting over the terms of your divorce, make sure her attorney knows you will subpoena the therapists to testify about the damage your W's condition has on your daughter.  They will fold and it will never go to court.  That's a year off anyway.

Your W is NOT going to change and, unless you act now, you will still be posting about this for years to come, assuming your daughter survives. Not the sympathy your were looking for, is it?

Start acting like a man and a father and not relying on others to take action.  Take control of this situation and do what you need to do to protect your daughter.  In the mean time, get off discussion forums and spend your time doing what you need to do.  Not seeking advice and sympathy from people who can't help you.[/quote]
