Today is the second time I watched today's show and I am still appalled. First off being 27 years old when molestation happened to your child is not an excuse!!! "I was 27...I was just a kid." WHAT??? I was 20 years old when I had my first child and if I had walked in on my husband molesting my daughter I would have strung him up by the telephone pole and let the police handle him from there. Not to mention I would travel 1000, or 1 million miles to get my daughter away from that! How could someone put $ before her children? I would live in a cardboard box to give my children a better life. Seriously Susan...You caught your husband in the act and you did nothing? "I didn't think it would continue." Where is your common sense? Wasn't there some part of your mind that told you, that this is wrong, I need to do what ever it takes to take care of my children. How do you not hug and console your child after that? Heidi had every right to have an attitude and Susan should accept and understand that. If Susan could take a step back and put herself in her daughter's shoes maybe she could quit playing the martyr. Susan needs to take ownership of her part in the whole equation. It is not Heidi's fault.
"John"...Seems the typical answers of someone that has done a great wrong. "My memory is fading" Your memory doesn't fade when you have committed such a heinous crime against your daughter. Step-daughter or not, you do not forget. You "John" committed an unbelievable crime against a child! Heidi bringing a friend to the house to be a part of it. Ya right! I have not met a 5, 9, 11 etc...year old that has the thought process to do such an adult thing. You didn't forget "John" you just have no remorse for what you have done!
Everyone in this situation needs to focus their anger to the proper place.
Forgiveness will free you! Your life can start fresh with out content and hatred, with forgiveness and TALKING!!!
Above all, ALWAYS take care of our children, so crimes like this can stop and their children have a better chance of not going through this. We are the ones that can give our children the lives they deserve. We are their protectors, their teachers and the ones they look to for everything. Be strong and stand your ground. Your children are your future too.
