Kids and parents
Greetings, after my divorce I always told my children that their father loved them, the kids did not want to see him, then my teenage daughter began having horrible nightmares, I had been taking her to see a therapist, where she received counseling, along with; at times her father; she never disclosed the fact until she was 16 that she was sexually molested by her father! (she tried to commit suicide, she had repressed the memories of what was done to her) my oldest daughter was at the time over 21 (and never forgot!) but it was prior to the law changing allowing people over 21 to testify during a preliminary trial, the judge did not find that repressed memory was enough to bind over to Circuit Court; my oldest daughter could then testify! Even though protective services were involved, and the police record of her abuse was taken and in front of that judge! After a time, the sperm donor as the kids refer to him, tried to file charges to reap his attorney fees from my youngest daughter, both girls were then in the Circuit Court, and this Judge believed them, yet he is free, with the words; "do not go anywhere near these girls or a PPO would be issued!" now doesn't the Judge order an arrest warrant? Yet, the records are still open and when he re-offends, then the kids can go and give testimony again! Stranger danger? well the stranger lives in your own house! I don't feel that this monster should be walking the streets, as we all know they don't stop, and someday will again ruin another young girls life, forever taking their innocence from them! So, I was doing what was; I thought the right thing, telling them that they should visit, he loves them etc... only to find out later that he horribly took their innocence from them, at a young age, and the dreams my youngest daughter had was of him murdering me in my home! which was My home, different from where we had lived, I left with what fit in my car, and he kept everything else, I left finally due to being tired of the jealousy and possessiveness and control and he refused to work, I worked too many jobs and finally realized it would be easier for me to raise and care for my girls and myself, and finally felt free, despite the threats he made to me, regarding "me having accidents, among other threats", yet I continued to say "he loves you, to my girls!" Stolen innocence! a horrible place, and then I felt guilt for not knowing, but he did this while I was working, he also had a special niece, I am sure was abused prior to our marriage! I have been divorced from him for nearly 20 years, now! I was an abused child, by friends of the family and their son who babysat for his parents, he watched and abused his sister and myself! I know the heartache and the damage that is done to children when that happens, I told my kids to always tell me if someone touched them in their private parts, no matter who it was, I even used the name of their Uncle who would never do such a thing and I was close to him; (my brother), but they did not tell me, and with the nightmares; or night terrors; I understand children are powerless to inform us, as the threats are; that it is our fault, and we would be in trouble, and then the other threat that they would kill their mother if they told, both kids are grown and Thank God have great families, I just know the hurt that was felt and at times still affects their grown up life with their husbands, and even though they have informed them of this it is difficult to get across to some, just how it is once you have been abused in that way! You feel powerless, as I felt the same way, afraid to tell; and my own children could not tell their Mother what was happening! Monsters live in our own homes, and not always a stranger! As for brainwashing children, we need to believe what they say, no child makes this stuff up! When will the Courts begin to believe these kids, no one asks for this life altering abuse! I believe them! I also know some women, and men abuse the right of parenting as well, putting the child under so much pressure to please! But for the most part, children who say they were abused, should be believed!
