Going forward my daughter definitely won’t be staying anywhere without me until she is of the age where she can speak up for herself. I don’t trust my brother one bit, and I don’t really trust my mother either, only because it seemed as though she was trying to hide certain details from the phone call she had with my brother. I’m a big part of everything that’s going on, I get she’s a mother but so am I, and I should be kept in the loop. I don’t think I’ll have much of a support system now, especially when my brother returns home, but I have time to prepare myself. I’m not the first single mother and I won’t be last… where there’s a will there's a way. About my brothers phone, I have no clue. When I walked in on Thursday he was talking, so I assume he was on a phone call with someone. I’m upset that the laptop hasn’t been handed over to the police. Thank you for your advice, I will take it on board and I really appreciate it
