If you were treating your daughter with dignity and respect and not for monetary gain maybe you wouldn't be near tears and scared about the outcome of a proceeding that is in Abbie's best interest. If you aren't doing anything exploitive why the theatrics and drama. They are both annoying AF!
And Asshat kept saying "We've been doing this for a long time (referring to taking care of Abbie), we've been at this for years"... Yeah, the duration of time isn't what ultimately determines whether or not you're good parents or fit parents. You can do a
crappy job of it for many years.
It's pretty damn telling that Asshat gets so nervous whenever there is someone examining whether or not things are being done in Abbie's best interest and if she's being treated well. Like when CPS came to investigate, both times. Now he was super worried at having the attorney representing Abbie coming to look at the house and observe things.
You put it perfectly, if they aren't exploiting Abbie for financial gain, if they weren't USING their child as a means of bringing in money because the two of them (especially Asshat) can't bring themselves to work for someone else, if there wasn't a very real chance that the attorney would discover some kind of shady
tit or some kind of neglect etc... then why get so nervous and worried??
Also, the fact that he was looking at and speaking to P for a lot of this and only glancing at the camera for a cpl seconds here and there. That's his tell tale sign of being super uncomfortable, like he's not being entirely truthful, like he's been caught doing something he shouldn't or is in danger of being caught/found out.
Oh and yes Princess P, you paid privately for an attorney.... with the money you have because of Abbie. Let's not forget that.
