How is Ave's relationship with BIL?

Would it be possible for him to pick her up and maybe take some edge off.He could be the neutral ground she needs for transition. Maybe a neutral drop off person would sort of make her feel connected to both of you instead of tense about what may or maynot happen between you and her daddy. Just a thought,hope all goes well. BTW sheis a very cute girl. I have two of my own.

I just dropped Ave at her counselor & thats what SHE suggessted - she thinks Ave is worrying about the LAST time i dropped her of to see her Dad, & what happened & she is now used to me staying with her when i supervised the park visits & she is nervous about the transistion - even now, whenever i take a phone call from him or we see each otehr, she says "Dont fight

Please read above response. & yes,t hanks for that idea. I will haev her choose a few thinsg to bring to her Dads, in case they dont go out - b/c there are no toys there for her.

Perhaps there's someone ELSE that could drop her off... not BIL.
