I was thinking the same thing jacmac.  PP, I read your story once, was so appalled by it, that i had to leave without saying anything.  I mean, what do ya say after hearing a reality like that???  Thank God it wasn't me??  No. . .  that's not very consoling or supportive.  I was too intrigued not to come back though.  You sound totally sane.  I can't imagine that I would be after such treatment.  You were smart to hold on to your belief.  You're still smart, feisty too!!  Sounds like you give your N husband a good run for his money.  
That sweet little girl though, alone with nothin but her suitcase and strangers???  Man, all I wanna do is give her a big hug and tell her everythings gonna be okay.  Sounds like you're taking care of her though.
