Thanks to all for the words of encouragement and support.
I have everything documented and set to bring CPS in to the picture. The kids have been seen by a highly respected child psychologist. All of the e-mails and voice mails she has sent me have been reviewed by a different psychologist specializing in addiction.
And, my attorney has drawn up guardianship papers that can be filed on very short notice. I am consulting with my attorney tomorrow as to the right time to pull the trigger.
Her comments to her son only go to highlight just how broken her thinking is at the moment. The child psychologist was screaming over the phone when she heard what was said. The psychologist's comment was "that is perhpas the cruelest thing she could have said."
Just another reminder of the human cost of additction... often inflicted on those who are defenseless... the children.
