What should I do, my child is 10 coming upto 11 years old she’s always not liked going to her dads since being a toddler but when her dad and new partner had another baby in 2017 it progressively got worse she loved it at first until the child reached 4/5 years of age. And now she completely HATES going she cry’s before going and she’s very angry when she returns on the Sunday she’s expressively said it’s not her had but how the dynamic is with her half sister. She constantly asks me to lie and make things up for her not to go on weekends she’s told him once she did not want to go and he made her feel awful about it so she doesn’t like speaking to him about things.
I’m unsure what I can do without upsetting dad or daughter because he will definitely have a word with her if I was to say anything but on the other hand I’m soo fed up of seeing how unhappy my child is when it comes to going there.

I would say take him to court but sadly she's still too young and they won't listen to her. Poor thing that's rough. I mean you could try to talk to a lawyer and see what they say. I'm sorry you both are going through this.

I don’t force my child to be around people that make them uncomfortable
The end.
Dad can try to force mom by court order. That would be him forcing it, not mom. And all on him. (A good way for a father to destroy his relationship with his child)
Dad is cartainly going to have a hard time controlling the child when the child is a teen
