SD11 is going to tell the judge (privately) tomorrow whether she wants to live with us or BM, at the temporary custody hearing. I don't know what to expect at a temporary hearing. If you've gone through one, please let me know.

She's always lived with BM, but we have a list of reasons why needs to be with us. She's denied everything, but SD11 claims all the allegations are true. She's been seeing an attorney ad litem, but she says when BM brings SD in, she wants to stay with her... when we bring SD in, she wants to live with us. SD is terrified of BM. She's violent and impulsive and who wants to provoke a crazy woman to yell at you?? No one. So I'm afraid that SD will just say what BM tells her to say in the morning, instead of what she really wants. This is so hard.
