Actually, I have to say that I wouldn't be denying him visitation. Just that if she didn't want to go, she would be allowed the choice.
I wouldn't have a problem with him doing parenting his own way, but his other child has now left and refuses all contact with him after being treated pretty much the same way. Only her mother gave up full custody of her before she was 3. I can see this situation rapidly becoming a problem as she gets older.
I realize there are age appropriate drinks, but he doesn't allow her any soda at all. And her diet while there is mostly take out.
I guess some would have to have met and know him to understand my problems with him.
I'm not denying him visitation. I have been put through hell when it comes to trying to put together visits. The last 8 years have been done his way on the holidays. A few times I have even been told he wouldn't be coming in for a holiday time and then he shows up demanding that I send her along when plans have been already made based on that he wasn't coming.
I haven't been unreasonable and have expressed my concerns that he doesn't pay attention to her. Remembering that his other child has dropped out of contact to avoid him. She went through a rough life. I'd rather not see at 18 that happen with this one.
