You know your daughter better then anyone would. If you do not think there is a problem then maybe there is not. The fact that you are writing me and telling me this maybe that you do question yourself on this just a bit.
Whether or not your daughter visits her mother in jail is really a decision you and her mother are going to have to make between you. If your daughter does not want to go then I would not force her.
I still believe that having your daughter see a therapist is the right thing to do for her. Her mother going to jail is traumatic by itself. Then factor in what she will have to deal with at school when kids at school find out will only add to her trauma. Having the therapist to talk to gives her someone to talk to that she can in essence let her hair down with and speak her mind or let her feelings out with. Rather than possible try and keep up a false front for you, which I still believe is the situation with her.
Whatever you decide you still need to let the school authorities know of the situation with her mother so they can be on the look out for problems at school. Children can be horrible to one another over things like this and children learn of these things before school authorities do. It is best that they know in advance so they can protect her from teasing and bullying.
