moving forward after trauma

[dragonfly0806]

My husbands eldest son at 16 yrs old sexually assaulted my little girl of 5. This happened 18 months ago. Police, social workers, drs , courts all done now. We've managed to stay together barely. We just can't seem to even talk about it or move on .

Take each day as it comes and try to enjoy the present. You've been through so much and you need need time out for yourself and your little girl. Feel free to PM. I completely understand what you are going through. My now ex...his 15 y/o brother did similar to my child. His family completely put the blamed and scapegoated me and to this day, refuses to believe this 15 year old boy is a sexual predator.

Have you explored counselling?

For me, I chose to cut my ex's family off but really, they chose to cut me off first. My ex and I are barely on speaking terms. Sometimes blood is thicker than water, it sure is a lot harder to mop up.

Take care. Its terribly hard. I know.
