A few months ago one of my children told a teacher her sibling touched her. Our world was turned upside down.
After an extensive investigation from SS and police we gathered this was many years ago and a case of mutual exploration that both children were now struggling to deal with presently, as they are now older and understand the ramifications of it. As they were both under 10 at the time and very close in age both services felt there was is no present danger and no criminal aspect.
The children were separated from the moment it came out but are due to be reunited permanently soon after meeting several times.
SS have offered family counselling but at a charge of £70 per session which we cannot afford.
We have talked to them individually but I just don't know whether we need to sit down together to talk about it or if that will just traumatise them more.
This happened at primary school and they are teens now.
I just don't know how to move forwards at all.
I have not slept properly in months. Its a living nightmare.
I put CSA in the title as a TW but police have said its not a case of SA but mutual exploration but I didn't want anyone to open the thread and be upset.
