thanks so much for the responses. I didn't sleep a lot last night but I did get SOME sleep and I feel a little more able to cope this morning.

As far as what her dad said when I talked to him, he just said "of course I'm taking her to the dr. But we are going to the movies right now. First she's taking a shower." So, it was weird. If he thought, believed, that she was hurt it seems odd that he'd take her to the movie. I don't believe at all that he will take her to the dr today. I am going to call him to ask, but I know he'll say she's fine.

I talked to my daughter briefly again last night and she did *seem* fine, she was happy and bubbly but that too was odd. She was talking in baby talk and said "blood go bye bye". This is an extremely intelligent, articulate 8 year old. She doesn't talk like that.

My T was wonderful when I called her last night. She said what you did, tree, that I can call CPS anonymously and give them the info and see what they say. I talked to her about how hard it is for me to sort out my history from what is going on now. I'm just so scared of doing the wrong thing or doing something that's going to make things worse. I feel like this is all my fault for not protecting my daughter and my T talked to me about that and helped me see that it's not my fault.

So. Today I'm going to call CPS, call her father, and see if I can get my older daughter to give me a ride to pick up her sister and take her to the doctor. If not, I will take her to the ER tomorrow afternoon when I get her for her overnight visit. I think that's my plan.
