I think what you did was great. I was in a simular position as you, but my children who were8 and 4 our youngest being disabled were molested while in the care of their father and his young girlfriend. They would put them in this room with this monster and were sexually molested over and over again. My oldest tried to tell her dad what was happening and he told her to go away. You got the chance to leave before your child was hurt. My husband and I, along with our childrens doctors and pshc decided to move out of state to get away from all of the stress, so our daughters could heal. I know we made the right decision,it has been 3 years since we left. Even though I do blame him for being neghlectful to our children, I do not talk bad about him to our children. But he hasnt had any contact with them in over 1 year now. His siters just started emailing us, wanting something to do with them, but they had bad mouthed me and my husband saying took the girls out of their lives and they will hate me when they are older. I do not believe this noncense that fly s out of their mouths and have chosen to take the high road and not say anything back. It will take a long time for my girls to heal,and has been hard on all of us. I find myself thinking I should have known what was going on, and I should have protected my children better. Leaving the state to get away from them was the best thing we ever did. We are just trying to heal now,you are a great mother for protecting your child so something like this couldnt happen to him.
