[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s tough bc BB testified that his daughter talks to him every night. She prob misses him so much. Cutting off contact immediately would prob not be what a judge stands for. 
It’s a tough situation there. I’m not even sure what the best approach would be, a child psychologist would be best to follow the case. [/quote]

It’s a really horrible situation because from the child’s perspective right now it will be another loss. Still, I can’t imagine long term that it would be in her best interest to continue this level of contact with Brendan. It seems like it would only make the inevitable rug pull worse when she’s older. She’s a victim of his actions as much as anyone. It does not seem right for him to have a level of access where he can just continue his manipulation.

I also understand family court weighs continuity strongly and that legally they were in a bit limbo with a parent who is incarcerated but not convicted. I hope that post conviction things can be weighed differently. It isn’t a situation that can just be brushed under the rug. Unfortunately there is going to come a time when Christine’s daughter will learn a lot of these facts. It seems like Christine’s family would be better positioned to support her in this next phase of life, since they are also coping with this. Leaving her with people who are in denial and pushing daily contact with her mother’s murderer seems like a sacrifice of her long term interests in order to prevent short term upheaval.

She deserves to know about her mother, and to be able to openly remember her and celebrate her memory.

In one of Brendan’s letters before he was arrested [b]he describes the environment there as openly hostile[/b]. It was hard to read that and think about Christine’s daughter. But I know that she will continue to draw on Christine’s love and strength throughout her life. [/quote]

The environment where?[/quote]
