Okay, here is the twist. I gave this daughter hotline numbers for teens and woman who are in abusive relationships. I was hoping she would reach out and speak with others about what is happening and get feedback. Well, she did, she was given the number for legal aid. There has to be humor here. I who strive to protect basic human and civil rights have a daughter call legal aid on me? My instinct is to fight for her. There is a children's book, I don't remember the name or anything but it has words like as long as... my baby you'll be. In this story the baby animal says what if I fly away etc etc and the mother always answers that she will come after the baby. Does anyone know this book? I want it for my daughter. At least I can tell her this is where she belongs. I don't know what the future will bring. Maybe the court will decide she doesn't need a guardian. I know this boy is troubled but I really hate him right now. She wants to take care of him and feels that her place is with him. Thanks for listening.
