    Here's the Flip side: Helped my Brother who was Nearly Homeless by taking him in, and allowind him to "Rent" space in the Basement.

    He abused My One and Only Child, My Daughter. She went from Happy, Bouncy and Joyous, leaping in my Lap, laughing and singing, etc at age Eight - to a Flat countenance, Leaves the room when anyone onscreen or in person is Kissing anyone, Never Hugged me or her Mother again, Never had close firends, Has never Had a Date, Never gone to a Dance, and more.

    Years Later, she is still the same. We live an empty Life. She sometimes calls, seldom visits, and still has never had a date. She is now 26.



    That took a lot of balls to put that out there.

    I wish there was some way I could help.[:(]

    I will Hurt for the Rest of My Life...

    The way we found out was One December Day, Wife and I were returning from a Happy Christmas Shopping trip, and came into the house to find a Phone Message. "Hello, I am XXXX, From Child Protection Services. We have had an interview with Your Daughter at Her School, and she was assigned an "Advocate" (Someone we had never met, never Dealt with, and someone that Daughter didn't know). We will be coming over to your Home to Interview You, to see if You are Fit Parents. State Law Requires You both to be there. We will do it while she is in School. We will determine at that time is she is going to be Taken by our Service". We will be there Tomorrow."

    It was a really Merry Christmas.

    Brother or not. He would be dead. I wouldn't be able to control the rage. I am so sorry for you and your daughter's betrayal. Hopefully time does heal all wounds.

    Although always described as a cowboy, Roswellnative generally acts as a righter of wrongs or bodyguard of some sort, where he excels thanks to his resourcefulness and incredible gun prowesses.

    I have worked in juvenile placement facilities since 2003 (till recently) and I have seen the effects that sexual abuse has on kids both male and female.

    It is an awful problem that occurs far more than anyone thinks. I worked on units of 18 females, where 16-17 were abused sexually and the other probably just didn't admit it.

    I am currently in a relationship with a woman who lost both parents by age 8. She went to live with an older sister and her husband, and the husband repeatedly raped her over a 2 year period, before she gathered the courage and turned him in. This man was never convicted, primarily because his wife (her sister) stood up for him and blamed my girlfriend for being "a whore", saying if she didn't want it to happen she wouldn't have put up with it.

    My girlfriend just recently gained contact with a niece who lived in the same home back then, but was much younger. The niece has now admitted that she has endured years of abuse by this same guy and she also turned him in, but the mother and husband both called her a liar. This couple has five foster kids!!

    When I questioned how this man could adopt children with at least two reports of abuse on his record, we were informed that a report that is "unfounded" by the Dept. of Public Welfare only stays on ones record for 1 year and 180 days.

    The niece recently reported that the husband, the abuser, also was caught cheating on his wife.. with the woman from the adoption agency!

    As long as people turn a blind eye to these molesters and they continue to get off with very little jail time, they will continue to reoffend. It's a sad thing to see everyday, and It's the main reason I no longer work in the field.

    Sorry to get so off topic, anways, Handload I am truely sorry to hear about your daughter's situation. I'm no Dr., but if there is anything I might be able to help you or her understand about this mess, feel free to contact me through e-mail or on the forums.

    My son was kidnapped and sexually molested at the age of 8. He had his childhood stolen from him at such a young age. He is now 17 and a very well adjusted young man but what happened to him will tramatize him for the rest of his life.He still gets professional help once in a while and on feb 2 of this year we go back to court for the civil trial. He has been having flashbacks and nightmares all this week. The man whom did this to him will be there and my son is scared to death. I told him not to worry, I will be right at his side and no one will hurt him again. I should have killed the sob but then I would have ruined all of our lives.Every time I see this subject come up on here it brings back alot of bad memories. Talking about it helps.I started a support group in my area to help parents cope with the assualt and give them my story and how to deal with their children in a positive manner.It has been nine years since this happened but it seems like only yesterday. The hurt never really goes away, it just gets easier.I love my son to death and will do anything for him but first he had to help himself and he did this by helping me start the support group.I hope none of you reading this ever have to go through what some of us have gone through.Tonight when you go to bed, hug you son or daughter and tell them you love them. Handload, If you ever need to talk, just email me and I will give you my number and we can talk.Oakie
