Much of what went on will be known only to children which will not be considered credible witnesses and in fact anything your own child has to say will be taken with mitigated belief so it may all be for naught anyways.

I am beginning to think that some of this is more about you and your acceptance than it is for your child. It is as if you want to make a point/spectacle to prove to yourself that everything is ok. If you were truly invested in your child's happiness you would have used the pay from those days you took off to remove the ONE child from that placement and put them where they would have been happier - that you could have afforded. Life will be hard for both of you but do not make this fight about you.
I only get $200 a month from my parents for spending 10 hour days 5 days a week. It's all they can afford. On my husbands income we cover bills, rent, food ect... We are lucky as my moms doctor fought for us to get full subsidy. We don't pay anything for our daycare. I could not afford it otherwise, and if my mom was in a old age home she would die in a week as she needs 24h care to make sure she doesn't asperate. Unfortunately I do not have extra money lying around and couldn't pull him out. I'm just lad he has only 2 days left.
