RoseMary's Baby

Did you read Rosemary's Baby? The gist--She was taken in by the devil and got pregnant. When she found out who he was she desperately tried to get help to escape him. Everywhere/everyone she turned to was one of his minions. I feel like I'm living in a warped reenactment of that story.

What the heck is "therapeutic reintegration?" We were so hopeful yesterday before my daughter had her meeting with Dr. I. She took the therapy notes and deposition (from A'ilana's year of therapy following the abuse) and tried to explain what has been going on. This woman doesn't want to see my daughter again and is planning on seeing A'ilana only once before beginning sessions with her father (which, BTW, won't happen until Jan. as this readily available therapist will be gone for the last two weeks in Dec.) She tells my daughter today on the phone that she will only need to see them 5 or 6 times. She also says she can't read the therapist's handwriting...meaning she has completely discounted the abuse. Her job, apparently, is to figure out if it is OK for A'ilana to be alone with him. She might give him some parenting advice and see if he heeds it. But, really her job is to verify that there is no reason for supervision. So...look for this poor child to be with him soon.

Two weeks ago he brought a photo of his girlfriend (the lawyer he lives with who is paying for and master minding their case) to supervision. Last week he brought a video of the girlfriend and her son with the dogs in their fancy place in CA. He told A'i that he might bring the son to a visit soon. Do you think they are trying to get her ready for CA? I sure do. Seriously, THERE ISN'T ENOUGH PROZAC IN THE WORLD for this roller coaster ride.

I am living Rosemary's Baby. Every time we put our hope into the process...it turns out that our hope was not just groundless but futile. He wins every time. NO ONE listens to, or cares about, A'ilana's truth.
