thank-you, but this happened December 2014.
She did end up getting a pretty good lawyer who did a better job for her than most lawyers would have probably done. I'll still be posting part 2 and probably part 3 in the coming weeks.
But you are right about how horrendous their behaviour can be! I had heard horror stories before about them but to see it with my own eyes was quite an experience.
I got so emotionally wrapped up I missed the date at the very beginning.
Thank you for taking her in and helping her out. I can't imagine being in her shoes and being betrayed by her own mother like that. So, so sad.
