So my daughter has a friend that she has slept over at the house multiple nights but she can’t come over for a sleepover unless we meet.

I get this. But I’ve met him once already.

She can’t even come hang out here for long.

As of last night, I let my daughter know she couldn’t spend the night at her friends dads house because he is too odd.

I’m a disabled part time therapist and my husband is Retired US Army, 15 years.

Neither of us have ever had our kids taken away or had them live with relatives. My husband has six biological children. I have two.

Our daughter told us that at one point her friend lived with her grandparents instead of her parents. So I’ve got to say there could be many reasons for this.

I am an ex-DCF case manager though. I’m going to be honest that 90% of the people I have met in my life that lived outside of their parents custody have had parents that have made major mistakes and that’s a nice way of putting it.

And to top it off, I have never met this girl’s mother. My daughters friend wants to start therapy because she has some really messed up thoughts about her emotions. She is on her mother’s insurance so she asked her.

Her mother basically called anyone whoever needed to see a therapist crazy. I highly take offense to that as a therapist. this girl needs therapy bad! She was taught that having emotions is wrong and bad.

Now she is friends with my oldest daughter, and my oldest daughter started deep breathing, and putting herself in timeout at age 2. My daughter is trying to help her manage her feelings.

So I guess you can say I feel like shit for not letting her sleep over at the dads house anymore.

Does anybody have any ideas or help for me???
