You have to do what you feel is right. Cause sooner or later everyone will
know the truth! Take comfort in that. And have a good weekend!!!

Thank you so much, Ariel. I'm grateful your children never, ever have to go through what I did...Most people would say that I should hate my family for not believing us...But I just can't...My mother was a victim of sexual absuse herself, so strange as it seems, I don't blame her for not believing me the first time it happened.
She believed me the second time, (and eventually the first) so I have made peace with that part of my life. Part of my soul may never find peace, but I'm learning to live with that.
I certainly do not forgive the men who assulted me...I believe that only God is capable of that. For all I care, they can rot forever in hell.
When I was in the rehab centre at the hospital where I stayed following my last surgery, I bumped into the first man who assulted me...(He was never punished, either)...I had nightmares for moths afterward.
Forgive me for going on...Thank you again, my friend...

You have left me deeply moved with your compassion.
That is the most appalling thing about child sexual abuse ; the way that there is all too often a horrible, unforgivable conspiracy of silence, that leaves the abuse unpunished, and the victim subject to further abuse.
Faced with my child saying that he/she had suffered this abominable crime, I couldn't live with myself if I failed to listen and to invesigate, whoever was the accused, my father, brother, child, anyone.
