PART 12 — ELEANOR’S INTERVIEW

The guardian ad litem interviewed Eleanor.

She repeated the unstable-mother story.

Then the investigator asked about the video.

Eleanor changed her description.

She said she could not remember whether I broke the plates that day or another day.

Then she said Julian may have been “demonstrating” what happened in previous arguments.

Then she said Chloe had misunderstood the conversation.

Every revision made the original certainty harder to believe.
