 If she doesn't want to visit then I certainly would not make her. It would be nice if she gave you a reason but she is old enough to make this decision. Just let her be the one to tell her father rather than have it come from you. Good luck.

Girls are normally more matur in these situations, and they normally know what they feel. If she feels so strongly about not seeing her father I would just support her wishes at present and just see how it goes.
