Life as I knew it changed for me on Feb 18th 2012. I started off as a lazy day. The kids were going with there dad out to eat, to a movie and shopping. My boyfriend and I were going to have the day to ourselves and we were thinking about going shopping for new paint colors and start painting the room at the top of the stairs...which was turned into a living room for the kids to watch what they want, and the computer was going to be moved up there as well.
Anyhow, I called my ex husband's wife quick to have her ask my daughter where she had put the paint samples that I had grabbed while we were at Walmart the previous day...that is when she said to me...we are headed back to the house. We just got to our destination and we got a phone call from the Sherriff and Social worker saying that they needed us to come home because there were allegations of some sort. I said what do you mean allegations of some sort. She said I don't know, we are headed back to find out. I said I will meet you at your house. She said there is no need, I said 3 out of the 5 kids with you are mine, so yes, it if involves one its going to involve all of them. So I "flew" to there house which is 30 miles away. When I got there the Sheriff and the Social worker were sitting at the house waiting for them. I stepped out of the car and introduced myself and told them I was there mother and I wanted to know what was going on. They told me that there were allegations that my ex husband's oldest son had molested my youngest daughter who is 10. That is some of the most devastating news I have ever heard in my whole life.
There are so many things that are going through my mind as a parent and why is it I didn't know what was going on?? How did I not know that he was doing this to her?? This came as a shock to all of us. I am so blasted mad, I have held this in and not talked about it...mostly for investigative reasons, I would not want to inpede an investigation.
I can't really go into anymore detail than that...I am so disgusted with everything at the moment. My daughters innocence was taken away from her and that isn't something that I can give back to her. She is having a hard time dealing with all of this as well as myself. Her whole life has been uprooted in the last month and all she knew in her life has changed.
The kids are now living with me....the were placed in my protective custody. I am in the process of getting physically custody of them. We are in the middle of an investigation. My life as well as theres have been turned upside down.
Not asking you to feel sorry for my family, just had to get that all off my chest. I don't show my face around here much anymore. Just "pray" for us...send good vibes, whatever you believe in. I am not a highly religious person, but I need all the positive thoughts I can get.
