I'm so sorry for posting here, I understand if it gets closed as it's truly horrific but I just need to get it out, I can't talk to anyone irl.
I found out end of November that my ex partner had been sexually abusing my daughter (his step daughter) for a number of years. I had no idea, I was called by a police officer whilst I was shopping one Saturday with my older 2 kids, and told I need to return home as my
Partner has been arrested and my baby was alone with an officer.
We were together just shy of 8 years, had 2 children together and my DD called him dad. She'd told a family member 2 years ago (who is also a child) and the family member told her mum who alerted the police.
She's had to endure 2 medicals, 2 ABE interviews and he's still not been charged yet but they're investigating. I can't handle all the waiting.
My son is distraught, he has ASD so he's all over the place. He's not seen his dad since we left to go shopping that morning, my DD has gone into her shell, lashing out one minute then seemingly ok the next. I'm on my arse, worrying how I can keep everything together for my poor daughter when I'm hanging on by a thread myself.
I lay awake at night worrying what if he gets away with it, my baby will never have a dad and his actual dad is a child abuser.
I just can't believe this is my life now, the relationship was a sinking ship and I couldn't put my finger on it. Now I know why.
