Thank you all so, so much. You are incredible. RU is incredible. All it's members are incredible. I'm truly taken back by how kind you've all been, especially with the offers of taking them in temporarily. I don't know what to say.
The advice you've all given has been brilliant and I've spent the day phoning various people, mostly to hit dead ends but I spoke to a lovely lady just now from the Hampshire Domestic Abuse service (thank you so much Tony for suggesting it!) who is putting me in touch with a support worker on Monday.
I had the idea of taking a picture of the rabbits in their pens to show how clean and tidy they are to submit to the court as my Mum's solicitor yesterday said something about how they must be running around leaving bits all over the place etc and seems to have the opinion that they're making the house a mess, which they're not. If a judge can see how they're litter trained etc perhaps he'll take a different view?
The other thing my Mum brought to my attention today was that he hasn't actually stated a reason for their removal in the document to be submitted to the court. I made the assumtion that it was him claiming that they were destroying the house etc as he's tried similar accusations in the past, but in the document is simply states that he wants all animals removed within 7 days. No reason is actually given.
I don't mind mentioning my age at all; I'm 25.
For now the weekend is making things difficult, there's a lot I can't do until Monday but I'll keep looking. I did phone about legal aid and was lead to believe that I would get it and was entitled but then told by a third person that I should just contact the police. However the last lady I spoke to has given me the name of somewhere that can give free legal advice so they're next on the list to contact.
As an addition to all of this we've just found out that with all this going on my Mum has missed her appointment with the endocrinologist who has now discharged her; she's under a cancer investigation and was supposed to get the results yesterday (she thought the appointment was today) so now there's that to worry about too as we don't know what the results were..
Thank you all, again, for being so incredibly wonderful through all this. You have no idea what your support means
*Hugs to all*
