My 7 y/o started a couple of months ago having nightmares of my ex-her biological father. It's starting to get scary! This is the third time of the same nightmare! I'm married & they're relationship is so awesome! 'She's such a Daddy's girl!! We don't know what to do!?! It's not like she sees her biological father everyday, she hasn't seen him in a year or so! She will tell you that she doesn't want anything to do w/him & that my Hubby is her Daddy! Kids know these things! So why is she starting to have nightmares of my ex coming to our house, shooting me & kidnapping her while My Hubby's at work? She says that she speed-dialed Daddy (my Hubby)  while he was at work, my ex didn't know she did it!  My Hubby, her Uncle Robert, Uncle Matt & Uncle Joey came to rescue her from my ex.  I'm getting worried!  What should I do??

Maybe in the past biodad said something about taking her away and shes now just remembering it. Not sure whst else u can do other thrn reassure her how much u and dh both love her. Maybe have her talk to a councilor snd see what they say.

Its just her fears manifesting in her dreams. Reassure her that you guys are always there, and that if she doesnt want to go with her bio dad, she doesnt have to.

No biggy.

I've always been told that too! She ran screaming & crying to Daddy b/c he was in the living room. He told her to come lay down with me & as much as she didn't want to talk about it, I got her to. He was suppose to take her back to her bed when he came to lay down, but he let her sleep w/us...lol! I told her everything was going to be ok. My ex was abbusive to me, but not her! I've got six fractures in the middle of my spine & one fracture in my neck from him, but the past week, I've been in a lot of pain and could hardly move/walk & I have Dystonia. She's a BIG help! I just don't know what to do!?!

This may be a warning you may want to hit him with a restaining order.


In case of emergancy if he is planning something you'll be showing you're now empowered and one step ahead of that jerk p.s if one parent abuses the other they ARE abusing the child

She hasn't seen/been around/talked to the bio dad in almost a year! She hasn't wanted to, so we don't make her! The last time she went over there was last New Years weekend. She'll tell you that he isn't her dad that my Hubby is! :) She knows who takes care of her! Pus, from mutual friends, he'll ask how I am and THEN ask about HJ (Hayley Jade). We tried at first to let her go over there on the weekends but the she didn't want to anymore! So we said ok & she hasn't! She misses her bro/sis/papa & granny from time to time, but bio dad lives w/them!
