SHINY! Aaaaahhhhh! What a pain...Borderline PD sounds like it's a possibility, PTSD, too, and all the anger and fear that goes along with it. CJ is lucky to have you, knowledgable in the area of insanity (if you're like me, from both the inside and the out!!!!), who can help him understand this is much more about the neice than about him. Good that he has taken care of so many other children and never had troubles.
An attourney well-versed in this kind of mess will be the best money you could probably ever spend, even though it's terrible to have to spend it.
Remember people with these kinds of issues cause SO MUCH TROUBLE. But if you stay rational and stick to the facts and express concern for how much pain she is in, you will come out looking good. Borderline PD tends to show itself up sooner rather than later, without anyone else having to say or do anything! It's a sick way of being in contact with the world, and it will not be limited to this one circumstance.
And, as I'm sure you know, once judges get a whiff of the lying/manipulating/self-serving side of this disorder, they usually throw the whole thing out and threaten the accuser never to be seen in their courts again!
I'm SURE this will all work out. SO SO SO SO SO SO SORRY that it's happening now. But, you wise woman you, YOU WILL SURVIVE!
Peace to you & CJ, and also to his neice. God bless...
