[QUOTE="myfirstandlast, post: 113117, member: 3420"] Things are getting stickier. She was with her dad when he went to the courthouse to get a copy of his custody papers (lost them a long time ago) and asked what he had to do to change physical custody ... it got really *real* for her then. [i](We got a pretty big shock then ... he doesn't even have joint LEGAL custody!! We've got our work cut out for us now.)[/i] She's not acting out but she's very upset. Quiet, and crying a lot, not loud for attention, but in her room. She stopped talking to her dad when he went in to tuck her in when he said we have to go back to the courthouse today to get what we need to change schools. I waited a few minutes and talked to her quietly. I said I DO understand, I was also switched twice, in 5th and in 7th, and most of my friends I met in high school, but I still talk to friends I met in 3rd and 4th grade, and it really won't be as bad as it seems ... that I knew she probably hated all of us right now, but that she would someday understand that we couldn't just do *nothing* ... that I loved her and was sorry to see her so upset and the same goes for both parents, BUT they are not backing down this time. Here goes another day! Have to drop her off at hubby's moms, run to school and court, get back to take her to a 1:00 appointment with the psychiatrist at the same place we've been going to the psychologist, and they also want to do some 2 hr. personality testing next week, and start on weekly appts. It's a start. A rough road, but this one smooths out instead of getting rockier and steeper like the one she was on. [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
