What would you do?

I have the right to leave an emotionally abusive relationship but what do you do when that abuse is coming from your 10 year old child? When the weakest dog is petrified, the younger sibling always wants to sleep in my bed because he doesn't feel safe in the room next to her, and I'm in a constant hypervigilant state in order to keep us safe?

Right now we are in a "honeymoon period" where she is trying to keep herself in check but the tiny behaviors are starting to creep in and will just escalate. I can no longer enjoy this time because I know what her cycle is now.

What would you do?
