>That's what you said about Baton Rouge. Deja vu. While you were in Baton Rouge your ex helped with your daughters. You are going to do what you wish regardless. My only recommendation is this: get her help now with your daughters and do what is in the best interests of your daughters - check into a rehab facitily now. Nothing else has worked for you.

They are in Florida now at her brother's place.

Baton Rouge was a major screwup. A great client, too. Someone has been spreading gossip about them here and they are wrong. Someone they turned down.
