Ave had her 1st pvt session with psyc yesterday, then I was invited in. Doc is very impressed w/ her verbalizations & being able to express her feelings about her dad, her fears, & her feelings of worrying about him.

Wow, Rebecca.
Just discussed this with my SIL today. My brother is her Godfather, we are all very close. Thats the "aunt & uncle" (my nephews parents) that SHE would want to "go to" - if GOD FORBID anything happened. & in our wills b4 divorce, thats where she went if we both died. & now MY will has them as her gaurdians if I die ... BUT ... i do know w/ joint custody, he gets her by default. (moneywise, EVERYTHING for her goes to a trust, in my brother & unlces name only. So no matter who gets her, neither Taz, now my brother/SIL can get a cent, w/o specific permission from the other party, or in Taz's case, both my uncle & brother. My Dad is my medical power of atty, as I am his. & my aunt, who is a nurse, is my 2nd med POA ... God, the thought makes me ill).
Rebecca, based on his mental issues (and the psych eval/recommendations) you may be able to put a caveat in your will or instructions or whatever asking that he be 'cleared' before ever gaining custody.
Wow Rebecca - this is huge - what a great post because you are being so productive and Avery is really benefiting from all of the hard work you have done. You have really accomplished a lot in so many ways with this doctor. Thank goodness you have stuck it out and made a lot of good decisions.
Keep us posted for court - I really hope you get the supervised visitation thing written in stone. My fingers are crossed and my heart goes out to you and Ave!
Ave verbalized more to him than she has in either of her 2 other therapists. YEY!
I think it's a great idea to look into what you can put in your will to protect Averey if anything happened to you.

I love this psychologist, really wish my boys had someone this to the point. You finally got some luck Rlch. He should be a wonderful resource for Ave, and help her grow up without the scarring that comes with a disfunctional parent.
