Hi all,
Just need some advice for my friend, Kelly. To cut a long story short our DDs are best friends (mine is 6, hers 7) and they have been given a homework task on relationships. (Kelly is now with a woman and her DD's Dad is with a new partner and they have 3 kids of their own, so she was a bit apprehensive about beginning the discussion!)
Anyway, when they came to discuss her Dad and his partner Her DD burst into tears and wouldn't tell her what was wrong. After a while she has managed to get out of her the her Dad's partner is bullying her (not her words). She will do things like step on her toes and when DD tells her she did she'll say "So?" Then she'll do it again and say "Oh, I'm so sorry" really sarcastically. There have been loads of other things but her DD is too scared to tell her Mum.
What should she do?
She has text DD's Dad and asked him to meet her this afternoon to talk but has had no reply as yet. She's really scared of making it worse for her DD.
(I'm so furious about it that I want to go and punch her (never had a fight in my life!) so I can only imagine how she's feeling).
(Sorry for the long post.)
Any suggestions?
