Man, turning things around. Just making an appt. with a good therapist starts the healing for me.
sid, I wonder why you don't call CPS now? See if they can act now. Your sister is enabling Mr. POS to keep getting away with sexual abuse on her daughter. I know you're going thru a lot and you're working on it but this is a CHILD. Grown-ups opinions mean nil when they are in collusion.
As much as I love my brothers, if I had proof that they were abusing kids, which they would never do, I'd call that day. I would hope they would do the same if I was a predator.
I really think the girl needs help now. She will be 18 in no time and will be on her on, able to make her own decisions, etc.
Too many girls that come from abusive households end up screwing their lives up so fast. She deserves a shot with a damn good therapist and a lot of attention from people who care about her.
If it's a matter of money, I'll send you $50.00 a month to help. Get the appt and tell me where to send the money. It won't be a loan. It will be a gift. I'll send it to the doc's office or whatever. Seriously.
I've looked back so many times to being raised by alcoholics. It was hush-hush back then and still is in alcoholic homes. I had nobody to talk to. If I could have seen someone early on, I wouldn't even recognize my life. I've had to learn the hard way.Phil
