i agree with Vanilla... i don't think it's okay for D to always say she doesn't want to talk with Mom, and that be the end of it... do i think she needs to talk twice a day every day? no... but to always let D call the shots is not right, imo... even if D is not up for a scheduled call--she makes the call, or takes the call... and then ExW can witness for herself how D really feels about the call... although i doubt she will see it that way... what she will do is force D to speak a certain way... i get why you are not making D call... but sometimes we have to do things we don't want to, as adults and as children... even if we didn't ask for the circumstances...
