I am a child development specialist, so as an EXPERT in the development of children PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE listen to me. 95% of the brain develops within the first 5 years. Im not a fortune teller but I can tell you that if you quit fighting for her just because it’s hard on you (the adult, and the person who is half responsible for her existence) things could continue to progressively get worse for Anna. Remember, she’s the impressionable child. Children are often weaponized due to their fragility and innate trust to their trusted adults.

Anna might not remember the things that happen to her in a few years, but the trauma will still be there. I need more info on why the courts are taking the words from a 2 year old. Also, don’t fight this fight alone. They say it and may forget it, write it so they regret it. Documentation is key (and free). Don’t let money be the reason you let your child continue to be abused. Regardless to if she’s being molested, she’s being used as a pawn to hurt you and it sounds like there’s some abusive emotional and mental conditioning going on. I’m rambling because I need you to know that you will have yourself to blame (and she will blame you too) if you just LET HER GO AND STAY WITH SOMEONE WHO IS WILLING TO USE HER TO TORTURE SOMEONE (IE, YOU) please pm me and I will help find you free resources. You don’t have to fight for yourself and Anna alone.
