Desperate WA state mother needing immidiate advice

[meganyouderian]

I left my now exboyfriend, he wouldn't let me leave with our daughter and let me take our son, I have been fighting to get my daughter back ever since. I hav been a stay at home mother since her birth she is only 1 1/2 and my son is only 6 months old, my ex's sister called CPS in retaliation to our seperation hoping they would take the kids from me and give them to my ex. I have willingly & unrequired submitted myself into treatment for smoking marijuana, trying to do all the right things. My ex boyfriend also smoked marijuana with me and has been a meth addict since he was 15. His present physical custody of my daughter is traumatizing her, he has 3 meth addicted strangers living in the backyard of the house where my daughter presently resides. Having left my ex I am currently living with my parents in their single family motorhome on their property until I get housing in about a month. My parents are legally permitted medical marijauna patients. By my ex's request a guardian ad litem has been asigned to our case. I have an interview with him tomorrow and fear for the worst, I cannot loose custody of my children I don't know what to do to ensure a good interview with the guardian ad litem, not to mention that the interview is taking place while my ex has visitation with our son, so the guardian ad litem will not see me with my kids but will see them with my ex and again I fear for the worst & do not know what to do. I have a lawyer and he is fighting diligently for my case, I am a WA state resident and am in fear of what the guardian ad litem report will advise the courts to do. Please if anyone has any advice as to how i should go about this meeting with the guardian ad litem let me know the interview is tomorrow afternoon

I'd NOT have the interview in your parents trailer if it can be avoided. If it cannot, I'd leave out a newspaper of apartment listings and help wanted ads, circle some. If you can delay it (for a cold or something) and get a job - even if at McDonalds - and apply for government assisted housing that would help.

Don't focus your efforts on cracking on him - though be honest there too. Focus on how you are a good parent (hopefully you are) Don't break down and sob uncontrollably. Be honest, sincere and open. Do not discuss if there have been any abuses (unless there are police and emergecy room documents to back it up) but don't lie.
