What else could I have done?

I'm glad you went too, shows steadiness and character despite what's been thrown at you. They may have ignored you but they'll be thinking about this. Keep it up.

Thanks. I intend to be at the next court appearance too. Sure was hard though, seeing her mom for the first time in 2 years and being that close. A complete stranger would have had more regard gor me. Hard to imagine the change in her compared to how she once was with me.
I only made the firm commitment to really let go and move on the end of October, soits only been about 6 weeks. It's hard and painful, but I reallly want to,
