This is something from years ago I never quite understood.
It came out when me and friend were about 14 that her father had sexually abused her. Her mother didn't know what had been happening.
The mum kicked out the dad. But she still wore her wedding and engagement rings, on the correct finger? The family moved quite far away when my friend and I were 18, and we lost contact. So that's at least four years after she found out she still wore them. The abuse was quite severe, and had been happening for years (from friend was about 5 I think). She also had a photo album, with various photo's of him, their wedding day, with their dc's. But she was still adding photos to this album after he left. She kept it in the utility drawer in her kitchen. If my friend wanted to show me a photo she had to flick past all the old pics, or try and judge where in the book new pics started.
AIBU to think this is quite strange? Especially still wearing the rings on correct finger? I thought it odd back than, and even odder now I'm and adult with my own child? Although I'm not married, just in a long term relationship, so maybe that's why I don't get it?
