Communication Details
Father of Client called today to let me know that he was not made known by his ex-wife of the fact that his child would be in therapy,
and that was concerning to him since he has sole decision-making when it comes to any and all medical concerns (which he said
therapy falls under this definition). He also noted that he wants to be a part of what's going on and so I told him that he was welcome
to send me an email with any information he would like to share or he can talk to me about a time we can schedule a parent session
that he would be in charge of paying for so that he could offer any information from his perspective. I also clarified that I would be
informing everybody involved of everything that goes on and everything that is requested so as to stay within the parenting plan. The
father also said that the reason for his call was to also send me the parenting plan so that I understood that he was to be involved in
all medical concerns, including therapy.

"Thank you so much for your time with Aidan today. He seemed like a new person leaving your office, as if a huge weight had been
lifted from his shoulders. I asked if he wanted to share any part of the session with me, and while he preferred not to, which I fully
respected, he did mention how much he enjoyed playing “avocado.”
"Is there anything that came up in your time together that might help us support Aidan in both of our homes?
"Thanks again for all you’re doing for him.
"Warm regards,
"Veronika"
And I responded with the following to both mom and dad:
"Hey all,
"Today we got to know each other better and discussed goals of therapy. Aiden came up with the goal of “listening to directions better
at school and home” for what he wants to work on in therapy. Are there any other goals that either of you would like for me to add to
the treatment plan? Feel free to email me back privately if you’d like, or you can respond here.

Mom emailed me with a screenshot of a message from a teacher informing that he said an innapropriate word (anus) in class that
day. Mom sent the following message along with it:
"Hi Mario!
"I hope you’ve been well. I am now seeing a pattern where Aidan acts out during his father’s weeks. When I bring it up to Aidan he
panics thinking I’m going to yell at him. His father yells at him. I didn’t yell but expressed to him calmly that he needs to be respectful
so his teacher can teach. Then I told him I was proud that he knew the appropriate term for butthole 😂 and we said it over and over
until his anxiety went away."
I responded with the following:
"Thanks for sending! I appreciate the information."

Mom emailed the following to me and CC'd Aidan's father, Matt:
"Hi Mario,
"Thank you so much for your time with Aidan today. He seemed like a new person leaving your office, as if a huge weight had been
lifted from his shoulders. I asked if he wanted to share any part of the session with me, and while he preferred not to, which I fully
respected, he did mention how much he enjoyed playing “avocado.”
"Is there anything that came up in your time together that might help us support Aidan in both of our homes?
"Thanks again for all you’re doing for him.
"Warm regards,
"Veronika"
My response:
"Hey all,
"Today we got to know each other better and discussed goals of therapy. Aiden came up with the goal of “listening to directions better
at school and home” for what he wants to work on in therapy. Are there any other goals that either of you would like for me to add to
the treatment plan? Feel free to email me back privately if you’d like, or you can respond here.

Communication Details
(11/13/2024)
Mom emailed the following to me and the clinician working with my client's younger sister (Danielle):
"Hi Mario and Danielle,
I wanted to share an update regarding some recent events that seem to have impacted the kids’ emotional state.
Yesterday, after Elora’s therapy session, all the kids seemed to regress. I decided to keep them home from school and took them into
the forest for a mushroom-hunting outing. Spending time in nature really helped them decompress—by the end, they were calm,
stable, and proud of the hard work they put into the hike and finding the chanterelles. The outing seemed to reset their energy in a
positive way.
However, today the kids had their mid-week visit with Mat, and they came back dysregulated. It’s upsetting to hear some of the things
he and his wife, Monica, said to them. Mat criticized Elora, saying, “It’s not your fault you didn’t go to school, it’s your mom’s,” which
left her feeling bad about missing school for the outing. He was aware of the reason they didn’t attend school since he was cc’d on
the school’s email, yet he still chose to speak negatively about me in front of them.
Raina even asked me, “Why does Dad hate you?” while Aidan has been more withdrawn and shuts down when situations like this

Mom sent the following message:
"Hi Mario,
I wanted to update you on a recent development regarding Aidan’s ADHD assessment with Dr. Stein. Aidan’s teacher sent the
Vanderbilt assessment to Dr. Stein without my knowledge, which led him to consider ADHD as a possibility. While Dr. Stein did not
rush to prescribe medication and instead recommended a cognitive assessment to check for potential learning issues, I’m unsure of
the necessity. Given Aidan’s prior testing for the PAT program last year, I don’t believe he has a learning disability.
Despite my repeated requests for the assessment, his teacher initially declined to share it and then included the principal and school
psychologist on the email thread, which was very strange. I am concerned that my reputation may be impacted at the school, with Mat
portraying me as “high-conflict.” After writing that email I included snapshots of, Mathew sent the assessment! Which means he had it
the entire time and never shared with me.
After reviewing the assessment, which I’ve forwarded to you, I am heartbroken by some of the insights, particularly Aidan’s reported
feelings of worthlessness. This has not been my experience with him, and I am worried that witnessing past instances of conflict may
have affected him more than I realized. I don’t see any indicators that Aidan has ADHD, but I am open to hearing your thoughts on
this and documenting it as needed.
Thank you for your support,
Veronika"
Mom also sent a video link from instagram of Dr. Gabor Mate sharing his perspective about how he believes ADHD to be a coping
mechanism for babies and children dealing with stress and that it is not a real disorder.
I responded with the following:
"I’ll look over all of this and let’s discuss it at our next parents session. Sorry you have had such a difficult experience with all of this!"

Mom emailed the following to me and the clinician working with her daughter:
"Dear Danielle and Mario,
I wanted to share my concerns regarding the children’s lunch situation at school. After realizing what Raina has been eating for lunch,
it’s become clear to me that a special lunch—provided by the school since January 2023—is in their best interest, especially
considering Aidan may have ADHD or be on the spectrum.
It’s incredibly frustrating that their father does not prioritize their needs and instead creates unnecessary complications. I’m beginning
to understand how this lack of support has negatively affected Raina’s emotional well-being.
I’ve attached screenshots showing that Mat was included in the special lunch communication, so there is no reason why he shouldn’t
be advocating for the children’s food sensitivities.
Thank you for your continued support, and I hope this provides helpful context as we work together to ensure the best outcomes for
Raina and Aidan.
In gratitude,
Veronika"
She also included two screenshots of emails back and forth with the elementary school discussing dietary restrictions (emails were
from 01/09/2023), and included the following recent email to the school:
Hi Robin,
I hope this message finds you well.
It’s come to my attention that there may be some conflicting information regarding my children’s lunch arrangements,
specifically from their father, Mathew Ralidak. Today, I noticed Raina had milk and an Uncrustable, both of which her
doctor has recommended avoiding due to their inflammatory effects.

As you know, it’s important for our children’s health and well-being to maintain consistency with their “special lunch.” Dr.
Bowker’s recommendations—which I believe I sent over last year—are designed to prevent inflammatory responses that
can impact their emotional and cognitive functioning. You’ve always been incredibly supportive of these guidelines, and I
truly appreciate your understanding.
However, the lunch staff mentioned there is an email from Mat stating that the kids can have “special lunch” when they’re
with me but can eat anything they want when they’re with him. I understand this may cause confusion, but it isn’t your
responsibility to track which household they’re at. I apologize for the trouble this situation has caused and would like to
clarify this for the sake of our children’s health.
Could you please share a copy of the email Mat sent regarding the different food guidelines for each household?
Additionally, moving forward, I would like to request that all of my children remain on “special lunch” throughout the school
year, regardless of whose care they are in. I will speak with Mat directly to remind him of Dr. Bowker’s recommendations
and reinforce the importance of consistency in their diet.
Thank you so much for your continued care and support with this matter. Your help ensures that my children (and their
teachers) have the best possible days at school.
Warm regards,
Veronika Goodnight

Mom emailed the following:
"Hi Mario,
During tonight’s FaceTime, Aidan didn’t want to talk at first, which is really unusual for him. When he finally opened up, he just cried
about missing his old house in Everett. It broke my heart. I let him express his feelings and just be in that moment with him.
To help him process, we talked about all the different houses he’s lived in and what he loved about each one. Then, I encouraged him
to imagine bringing all his favorite things into the new home we’re searching for.
It was an intense call, and it was hard not being able to physically comfort him. I just wanted to share how sad he was, in case it’s
something to explore in your next session. That said, I feel like we ended the call in a connected and stable place.
Thanks for everything,
Veronika"

Mom emailed the following:
"Hi Mario,
I wanted to reach out regarding Aidan’s emotions surrounding all the moves he has experienced. While the moves on my end have
been out of my control- I had to leave an abusive relationship with their father, then move again from toxic landlords after our dog was
killed on the farm and now we are facing issues with black mold and other unsafe conditions in our current home- I have always done
my best to prepare my children. I’ve included them in the home-searching process, kept them informed, and ensured they were never
blindsided by transitions within my control.
However, last night Aidan shared with me how deeply sad he is about his father moving from the Everett house. He expressed that he
was completely caught off guard when, after spending a week with me, Mat and Monica took him and his sisters to lunch and casually
informed them that they were moving. Both Raina and Elora were in tears at the table, and Aidan was also crying, struggling to
process the sudden change. When they returned to the Everett house, it had already been fully staged and moved out of, which left
him feeling blindsided and deeply unsettled.
Aidan is particularly sensitive to not being told what’s going on in his dad’s home, and this has really affected him. While I can support
him with love, reassurance, and open conversations about our own moves, I don’t know how to help him navigate the lack of
communication from his father. I’ve encouraged him to bring up his feelings with Mat and also to share them with you, as I believe he
needs additional guidance in processing these emotions.
I want to note that I did not CC his father on this email, as I feel this is private and sensitive information between Aidan and me. I want
to ensure he has a safe space to express his emotions without concern about how they will be received elsewhere.
I would really appreciate any insight you can offer on how best to support him through this. Thank you so much for your time.
With Gratitude,
Veronika Goodnight"

"I am exhausted. Keeping you two in the loop. What fun."
Then included screenshots of a message from Aidan's dad and her response covering an event that took place at the elementary
school during pick up.
And she included the following forwarded message she sent to Adam Del Rosso.

Hi Adam,

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the way you continue to show up with empathy and professionalism during
incredibly difficult moments. Today was especially hard, and your calm presence reminded me that there are people in the
school community who truly see and understand the complexity of what I’ve been navigating.
As you know, I’ve been doing my absolute best to care for my children and stay present in their lives. I’ve spent this past
week volunteering, showing up, and supporting them through emotional challenges—and today, I was so proud to be
there for Aidan during his recognition. These are the moments I live for as a mother.
Unfortunately, I was blindsided by another CPS call during the assembly—this time questioning the stability of our living
situation. It’s heartbreaking and exhausting to keep defending myself as a mother when I know, without a doubt, how
much love, time, energy, and intention I put into raising my children. We’ve recently been given an incredible opportunity
to live and grow on a farm, surrounded by support, and my kids are genuinely excited and thriving with this new chapter.

I also want to be honest: Mat continues to be a source of emotional trauma for me and the children. His behavior today
was unsettling and manipulative—filming us, twisting facts, and trying to involve others in ways that feel like intimidation.
He is not someone I trust, and unfortunately, these cycles of control and chaos are not new to me. What hurts the most is
knowing my children are not allowed to call me when they’re with him, and I’m left to sit in silence after pouring everything
into their care this week
I just want to live in peace, raise my children well, and continue building the stable, joyful life we all deserve. I’m grateful
for your understanding and the grace with which you navigate these situations. It means more than you know.
With Gratitude,

Mom said the following:
"Hi Danielle and Mario,
I wanted to share some important context that may be relevant to your work with Raina and Aidan, particularly as it relates to potential
emotional stressors they may be navigating.
There has been a pattern of my co-parent, Mathew Ralidak, scheduling and altering medical appointments for the children without
coordinating with me—despite our court-ordered parenting plan requiring such coordination. Most recently, he changed Elora’s
appointment with no notice and brought her to a provider unfamiliar with her medical history, bypassing her established care team. I
share this because it reflects an ongoing dynamic that may affect the children’s sense of consistency, safety, and trust in adult
decision-making.
Additionally, I recently discovered that false information about me—including fabricated claims of alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and
mental illness—was entered into Elora’s medical chart. I did not provide or consent to this, and it echoes past legal behavior that the
court has previously found concerning. I am taking appropriate steps to have this corrected.
I am sharing this information solely to provide context and support your understanding of any emotional or behavioral responses you
may observe in Raina and Aidan. Please let me know if you need documentation or further information for your clinical records.
Thank you for your continued support of the kids.
Sincerely,
Veronika Goodnight"

"Dear Danielle and Mario,
I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing to share an update regarding ongoing challenges with Aidan and Raina’s father,
Mathew Ralidak, which I feel are impacting the children’s emotional stability and their ability to maintain consistency in care and
routine.
There have been several recent incidents in which the parenting plan has not been followed—specifically around medical
coordination, missed transitions, and appointment cancellations without my knowledge. Today, Mat failed to show up at our previously
agreed-upon custody exchange location despite multiple confirmations via TalkingParents. I was at the location as scheduled and am
currently filing a non-emergency police report to document the incident. I haven’t seen or talked to my children in 8 days.
This follows a pattern of exclusion and unpredictability that I am actively documenting for court and mediation. I continue to uphold my
responsibilities and make every effort to maintain a stable and peaceful environment for the children, despite Mat’s resistance to coparent respectfully.
I am sharing this not to involve the children in conflict, but so you are aware of the underlying dynamics that may be contributing to
any behavioral or emotional patterns you observe in session. My hope is that their therapeutic environment continues to feel like a
safe and consistent space, especially when so much feels out of their control.
Please let me know if there’s anything you need from me to support their care. I value your insight and am grateful for your role in
their emotional well-being.

"Dear Danielle and Mario,
I wanted to inform you that I was recently notified of a temporary protection order that was filed by Mathew Ralidak and granted
through King County on April 11, 2025. This order currently restricts both myself and my fiancé from contact with Mathew, his wife,
and—most painfully—my three children, including Aidan and Raina.
I have not yet been served with the full documentation, but I understand there is a hearing scheduled for April 25, 2025, at 8:30 AM,
at which I will have the opportunity to respond. Until then, I will fully comply with the order while preparing my legal response. That

"I found this awful video used in first trial. Holding Raina!!! When he pulled back his fist I was holding Aidan.
He is so abusive and now I can’t touch, see, or hear my children for 22 days?!? In our 2nd trial’s supplements and findings this is
what the judge said!!!! How is Mat getting away with this?! I’ve been to EVERY practice, game, and dr appointment until last week. I
can’t even uphold my volunteer responsibilities at their school!!!
“ Balance of Harms and Advantages
The Court is required, under RCW 26.09.260(2), to balance the detriments and advantages of changes to the residential schedule.
So far, this Court has focused on discussing Ms. Goodnight’s shortcomings and Mr. Ralidak’s strengths. However, Ms. Goodnight has
many strengths as a parent and Mr. Ralidak has shortcomings. Ms. Goodnight is highly sensitive to the children’s emotional needs.
Mr. Ralidak is not. When the Court inquired with the parties regarding the emotional needs of the children, Ms. Goodnight discussed
how the youngest is prevented by Mr. Ralidak from calling her mother to say goodnight. Mr. Ralidak allows this 6-year-old child to cry
herself to sleep, calling out for her mother, because he believes imposing a regimented bedtime routine is paramount. This shows a
callous lack of understanding of the children’s emotional needs, particularly when applied to a child so young who is missing her
primary caregiver.
When the Court inquired about the emotional needs of the children, Mr. Ralidak tellingly did not respond with a discussion of the
children’s emotional needs, to be heard, to be understood, to be loved. Rather, he discussed routines, stability, responsibility, and
other admirable traits and structures that are important for children … but that have nothing whatsoever to do with their emotional
needs. It is clear to the Court that the change in the residential schedule should not result in the children being away from
their mother for more than a week; in fact a weeks’ time, on a regular basis, may be too long, particularly considering the
emotional needs of the youngest child.
In order to accommodate the children’s emotional needs, particularly that of the youngest child, not to be away from either parent for
a full week; to allow Ms. Goodnight to remind the children to utilize the emotional regulation techniques she is working with them on;

and
to enable Mr. Ralidak to monitor the children’s homework and healthcare more closely, the Court finds it necessary to allow a
mid-week visit for each parent.
The Court will also modify various miscellaneous provisions of the parenting plan in an effort to resolve ongoing disputes (and avoid
additional court hearings) and more clearly define how the parents must make decisions going forward."

Communication Details
(04/14/2025)
Mom of client sent the following:
"I’m going crazy. I’ve never experienced pain like this before. Is Aidan ok? Do you think I should request the therapy notes? I still
haven’t been served and I’ve had ZERO contact with my kids."
My response:
"Aidan is okay. I wouldn’t request the notes. It would be too difficult to gain access to those. They are protected. My advice is to ride
this out and be on your best behavior until the hearing."
She responded with:
"Excellent.
That’s all I needed to hear. 🙏🏻
Thank you"

judge overruled."
And she included a screenshot where the following was noted:
"All Other Symptomology: (Onset, severity, frequency, duration): Mom states when we all lived together Aidan had so many accidents
- he's now pretty much potty trained, and wears a diaper at night only. Aidan had accidents all the time only at home after an episode
where dad said get the F out and then asked the children to pack "mommy's things"."
