Well, I would like to say thank you to those who have provided me with feedback and opinions. This definitely helped, although it was only a short term fix.

While dealing with the bf's mom and then bm, bf and I have come to the conclusion that it will not work between us. Although we love eachother and SD and I are closer than ever, it really just will not work.

So, one of my departing gifts to SD was to call Child and Youth Services to report bm of being neglectful. This of course, is backed by her pediatrician who was the one who told me I should call them. I brought her to the pediatrician yesterday because when she came back from bm's 5 days ago now, her bacterial infection was yet again inflamed and she now had what looked to be chafing. I knew that there was more going on at that house than we knew and I was not willing to stand by and allow this to continue happening. So the doctor told me that she is luckily not being abused (Thank God!!!!) but that she is definitely being neglected since she now has two infections in her vagina. This poor 3 year old loves to see her half sister but is not able to do that without seeing her bm. When I talked to Child Services, I made a point to talk to them about her half sister as well and how she had welts on her bottom while in diapers and that the issues with bm have been ongoing for 4 years since the first child was born.

I am just hoping that they will finally do something about this woman and that bf will no longer allow this to happen! Since bm is not yet legally entitled to visitation since there is no court papers yet, I am hoping that bf will stop allowing her to go there until this is cleared up and she is old enough to do things on her own. I only feel bad because they believe that bf is being neglectful because he is allowing her to go there and will now be a part of the investigation.

Well, I leave the province tomorrow, I wish all of you the best of luck in the future and hope that you all find peace with the skids and inlaws and all that.
