Topic : 04/24 A Boy in Trouble

In my family of 7 brothers and sisters, I was molested by my brother, my step dad, and my uncle tried. My uncle molested all three of my sisters and both my brothers. When the first step dad raped my sister for years, my mom stayed. Then my mom got another man in her life, and he sodomized my brother, and tried to continually molest my sister and me. I was the last to leave home. I was 20. In all these years, my mom never once believed my siblings that this was happening. Even after the doctor's told her we all were telling the truth. My second step dad even put a 22 rifle to my mom and threatened to kill her after he beat me and my sister.

So, why do the moms stay? What I learned in my very traumatic home was how NOT to be. My two daughters grew up with a great life. My mom and step dad where not allowed in my life b/c of this past history. My life made the Discovery Channel, and Life Magazine b/c it was so horrific.

The best thing I did for myself was get help with a psychologist. HE told me to write a book, and then he killed himself. I just ended up feeling that I was bringing people bad luck. It took me until I was in my late 30's to find myself and heal. I was a school teacher, then went on when I was 38 yrs old to become a nurse b/c I knew I could help people. But in the end of my 5th years being a nurse I  became permanently disabled. I am happy though that I can handle all my medical stuff b/c my past made me resilient.

Men like my  uncle and the man on this show need to suffer what they deserve. There are so many women, and children of both genders that are suffering like Sherielyn. She appears to be in shock. I cried for her, as well as what happened to us kids in my family. GOD BLESS YOU LITTLE ONES.

Sheri-Lynn says her son is from a previous relationship. Not, a marriage. Maybe circumstances made her unable to care for her son, so she let her parents keep him until she was able to. I find it odd that a woman would leave her son with someone who had sexually abused her. If a man could abuse his own daughter, I think he could abuse any child, including his grandson. I think the "memories" came back to her about six years ago, during some kind of "therapy" sessions. If she said what kind of "therapy" it was, I didn't catch it. Much of what Sheri-Lynn said was hard to understwasand.
And, I thought Dr Phil might have been too hard on Sheri-Lynn's mother. She was a witness, not an accomplice. What Sheri-Lynn's father did to her, when she was two-weeks-old, which he admitted and his wife corroborated, was disgusting. But, if he's telling the truth, that this was the only time he touched her inappropriately, was that grounds for his wife to leave him? Especially if she had no way of supporting herself and Sheri-Lynn?

Denile is the best accuse for a criminal.

my  2 year old graddaughter was molest by a 10 year old girl... the 10 year old girl was a family member..I  called fps.. about this...and  they talk  to  the 10 year old .. she  said..  she  didn;t  do  any  thing...so that was  the  end  of  that...I beleive the 10 year girl was molest by  some  one..But her  mom  says  nothing happen to her..and  sweep it  under  the rug...Now  no  one is  talking to  this  side  of  the  family...I  believe the  10 year needs  some  help...This  is  the 3rd. incedent with her ...So now  what...My  granddaughter is  not  allow  to go around  the  10  year..

I dont understand how it can happen. even if you suspect it. I know she prob had to work and needed a baby sitter. But she could have found anyone else.

why do parents tend to act like they dont know what is going on. I just dont get it. My mom still talks about my father like he was okay until he got in some car accident. Im sorry but you dont just becoem a molester over night.

It makes me sick that she claims she didnt know anything. come on he was even stalking women and taking pictures of women, and dated an addopted fam member. How could you not know.

thats what makes me angry that she didnt support me. I felt aboandoned, like she ddint care enough to admit something might have gone wrong.

why does this happen so much?

it all just makes me sick and angry.

Im sorry for what youve been through. I know how hard it is to live w/ it. I think of it almost every day.

blessed be

 

  As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and watching this family - I feel alot is not being said. The grandfather has admitted to beating his daughter - doesn't his wife seem submissive? Maybe he keeps her in place by beating her as well. One reason why she hasn't left or said anything is because she is scared as well. The grandfather really seems to want to be center of attention - when the audience claps even if it against him he smiles and claps as well.

 

  The grandson surely has problems - this is not normal for a young boy to behave. Someone has abused this child for sure.

 

  I hope they are able to get the help they need and heal.

 

 

I got a different message than some of the viewers today. I pulled fom the show that this woman seemed to be a troubled oung mother. She left her young son with her parents when he was 2 so she could get her life back on track.. She was obviously not fully aware of everything she had been through at this time, so when she reached out to a counselor and was turned onto the hypnosis, it was then that she started pulling these dark memories from her past. I do not feel that she fully knew everything that had happened to her when she left her son alone with her father.

 

She seems to be struggling with which memories are real and which memories are created out of fear, anger and theb unknown. I hope that tomorrows show will bring clarifty to all of her unanswered questions and help her heal so she can help her son heal.

 

 

There is no excuse for any of the molestation that is being discussed today. Not by the victims father, or by her son. All of it needs to be addresses. Molesters ruin lives. And often time, people who are molested and done fully cope and recover from it continue to exhibit these molestator traits and often times victimize others. This is  a nasty cycle that needs to be broken with her son. I pray for both the victim and her son who is not only a victim, but a perpetrator.

Look, I am a mother of three kids, ages 2 to 14.  I grew up in a house where I was molested by my step-father with my mother knowing what was going on.  IS THIS WOMAN CRAZY????  What is wrong with her?  She sobs and cries saying she doesn't want to be touched....sobbing over her own molestation!!!  She hasn't shed a tear over her poor son.  What kind of mother would allow a child molester be in the same room as her child.  Especially allowing him to spend the night...knowing her child was sleeping with her father...A CHILD MOLESTER!!

 

It is a shame this woman suffered as a child, but there are lots of us out there.  Shame on her for not protecting her son. 

I fully agree with you.  If lie detector tests are to be used, then all involved should be tested.  On the other hand, if she has convinced herself that it has happened, the polygraph would most likely agree she is telling the truth.  Likewise, if the father really did molest SherriLynn and if he has convinced himself that it did not happen, the polygraph would reflect likewise.

 

Considering she fabricated other supposed events of abuse, false pregnancies/abortions, how does one know to believe the other things that she said. 

 

Finally, I agree with the question as to where SherriLynn was during the year and a half her son stayed with her parents.  Has she ever thought that her absence in his life could be the cause for his acting out behavior?

 

Too many holes in this one.  Makes it very hard to believe anything about it.

 

That being said, it is not my desire to belittle any abuse that anyone has undergone.  My comments are not for everyone who has been molested but in response to SherriLynn.
