[quote=Anonymous]Leaving the divorce out of it: My own DD definitely wanted/needed certain physical boundaries by the time she was a preteen (before that for some things)- knocking before entering her room, bathroom privacy, modest & expecting privacy when changing, sometimes uncomfortable with hugs etc. Not just with DH but also with me. That is relatively normal for her age, or at least it is to me? Was she acting up and hiding under the covers when she’d been told to do something? In that case it seems to appropriate to enter the room with a knock after a cooling off period (if she refuses to come out) , physically remove the comforter and tell her “no DD, we need to continue our discussion about xyz” etc. I think her therapist and/or you need to help DD come up with a way to express herself when she is with her father. How to advocate for herself and make her preferences known etc [/quote]
