I haven't posted to you before, but I have been following your sitch. I'm glad you have finally been able to connect with your gorgeous girls. It was indeed a long time coming. Unfortunately it happens all too often. I am sorry for this pain, but so very grateful that there is some light in this tunnel. There is so much love in the post of how you described your time with them.
Please don't think I am a scare monger. I am glad you have documented the comments your daughter has made. Will you please also let your lawyer know - there is likely no need for action now, but a pattern over time could be a different story, amke sure you document everything in a contact diary. You are right your daughter is 3 years old and they make random comments all the time, but still sometimes 3 year olds don't. They mean what they say. Keep an eye on any marks or bruising in places that your typical 3 year old wouldn't get from their rough and tumble play.
I'm glad to see you be strategic with your STFU smoothie. Better to choke on a smoothie that undone the amazing work you have done.
