Guest guest Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 -Shan, Thank you thank you thank you....now you made me cry though. I know exactly what you're talking about. See it's always been a fear of mine because I was raped. (By Zachary's sperm donor infact.) See, everything happens for a reason...if I hadn't of been asked to work the night shift, I wouldn't of been walking out alone at night, I wouldn't of had to live through that, but then I also wouldn't have my son. When I found out I was preggo it made everything all right. But because of how he was conceived I've always feared that maybe some of that mans traits were passed to him. (The police and the counselors swear that isn't the case here though....pray they're right.) Then I had to do a 6 month clinical at Fulton Prison and guess what I had to lead...none other then the sexual pediophile program. There's nothing scarier...and I guess that's where I know I failed my baby. We've talked about things like her body and that nobody has a right to touch her but I never went in to great detail because I thought she was safe. She's always with me. I even homeschool her. Guess I screwed up in the worst possible way. Thanks so much for caring, I know exactely what kind of info your reading.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 Thanks , But strong is the farthest thing from what I am. I lost 15 pounds because all I could do is vomit for two weeks straight. I still cry myself to sleep just about every night, I think my bleeding ulcers are coming back and I'm literally falling apart. I will give myself credit for being strong infront of them though. Although, everytime Zachary leaves I can't move my neck because I'm so tense the whole time he's here with her. Real great mom-eh?????

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 --Sharon, And you know what the worst part was???? I couldn't even confront her on what she had done because she was due to have her baby in 2 weeks. And trust me there was alot I wanted to say-lol. You can mess with me all you want, but once you hurt my babies there's no holding back. I'm taking the high road on this now though and just choose never to speak to her again, because I don't think I would like to say the things I would say to her to anybody. I just hope I never run into her again, because then it just may pop out of my mouth before I realize what I'm doing. One of the other moms was so disgusted with the group for their actions that she left the group too and we've since started another group where all the moms are a little more down to earth and not so judgemental. I even told them because I didn't want Alyssa slipping and saying something and then loosing her new friends...they were extremely understanding and don't feel she's a threat at all. Thank you so much for your support.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 -Oh I can imagine a typical day. We've had quite a few here too. Zachary likes to be the center of attention regardless of what else is going on. He would act out anyway he possibly could to get attention. The windows made me laugh because he actually hung out of his and ripped the shingles of our roof....we have a mansored roof so he could easily get to them. The only times he really acted horrid (well, completely horrid) was in the few months following the births of my other children. Even after that though it felt like every night there was a battle about something. I want him home so bad and will do whatever it takes to get him here, but at the same time I pray things are different, I dread going back to the battles, it's been so calm around here lately. And now we'll have the added stress of protection. The other day he was here and we were all playing outside when said he had to pee. Zachary took his hand and said " come on I'll take you " , I got this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach....true fear and yelled (seriously screamed out " NO!!!!!!! " Then I realized what I had done and had to regain my composure and said, honey I would prefer to do that myself. Poor kid was so embarrassed and said he feels like I'll never trust him again. Sad thing is, I probably won't!!!!! I know I shouldn't feel as scared as I do, atleast not accoprding to the counselors, but I can't help it. He will never be alone with Alyssa or again. It makes me sick the disgust feelings I get when he's with them, but I can't help him. I will always love him, but I will never forgive him completely for what he did to my baby.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Meaghan, I don't think you screwed up or failed your daughter at all!! Let me tell you that my mother DRILLED it into my head about it being my body, nobody could ever touch me, and all that stuff since the day I was born... almost fanatically she really made sure I knew... and I still was molested by my cousin for 2 years. In my opinion it is different when it is a close family member versus a stranger because a child trusts a family member and not a stranger. Of course your daughter trusted her big brother, and I do not believe for one minute that you could have ever taught her not to. Please don't beat yourself up over this being your fault or that you have in some way failed as a mother, because you haven't! You sound like a fantastic mom. Of course, I know it is easy to say don't blame yourself and a lot harder to let go of the guilt youre carrying around, but you have to do it for YOU! Nicci Re: Meaghan*I'm sooooooooo mad!!!!!!!!!! -Shan, Thank you thank you thank you....now you made me cry though. I know exactly what you're talking about. See it's always been a fear of mine because I was raped. (By Zachary's sperm donor infact.) See, everything happens for a reason...if I hadn't of been asked to work the night shift, I wouldn't of been walking out alone at night, I wouldn't of had to live through that, but then I also wouldn't have my son. When I found out I was preggo it made everything all right. But because of how he was conceived I've always feared that maybe some of that mans traits were passed to him. (The police and the counselors swear that isn't the case here though....pray they're right.) Then I had to do a 6 month clinical at Fulton Prison and guess what I had to lead...none other then the sexual pediophile program. There's nothing scarier...and I guess that's where I know I failed my baby. We've talked about things like her body and that nobody has a right to touch her but I never went in to great detail because I thought she was safe. She's always with me. I even homeschool her. Guess I screwed up in the worst possible way. Thanks so much for caring, I know exactely what kind of info your reading.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 -Ang, You're probably right!!!! We'll have to do that sometime. From where I live it only takes about 40 minutes to get to Valley Park, that's where my best friend lives. I still can't drive though, I can sit in the car if I sit kinda sideways, but that doesn't make for good driving. My hubby is so tired of driving me places. I told him last night that I was so sorry for intentionally throwing myself down the stairs just to inconvenience him. That would be awesome to meet you in person though.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 I know there have been tons of responses, since I am 3 days behind on my email, but I had to say that I am certainly not disgusted! This type of thing happens a lot more often than people realize. I was molested by not one, but TWO family members as a child. One was an adult uncle who knew better, and I of course have never forgiven him, and won't let him near my child. The other was an aunt who was a " curious youth " , and although remembering makes me uncomfortable, I found it much easier to forgive her, and feel that what she did was truly just curiousity, and that she would never do something like this to a child now. I never told anyone in my family what happened, although my aversion to the uncle raised a lot of suspicions, and no one really trusts that uncle now. No one has ever suspected about the aunt... Yours is the second story I have heard this month, which is more proof of how common this can be. A good friend of mine also just confided that her nephew was caught molesting his sister, and they think he may have molested her daughter (his cousin) as well. They are of course all very upset over the issue. All the children involved are young (including the molester), and hopefully resilient enough to overcome this. It may actually be more difficult for the adults to overcome. My thoughts are with you as you struggle with this challenge Jette ----- Original Message ----- > Actually I already posted about it once and didn't get any replies so > I figured you all were disgusted with it/me.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 -Thanks Jette, I'm so sorry you had to deal with that all alone!!!! You must of always been strong. I hope everything turns out alright for your friend too. It's unbelievable how often it actually happens. I never new just how common it was before this. That knowledge sure doesn't make it any easier though when it's your own babies. No child should ever loose the ability to trust someone they love.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Meaghan, I don't recall the original either. Sorry about that. Been hitting delete to much lately, sorry. I would never be disgusted about it. Just feel for you. No parent wants to be in that position. It sounds like it has been handled very well and your son is getting the help he needs. Hang in there and we are here if you want to vent anytime. After all, even if something is " off topic " it really isn't because whatever is going on in our life does effect our weight loss efforts or maintenance efforts. Take care, Gena > I never did see the original post. I probably skipped it by > accident. I am not disgusted. I think that would be so tough to > deal with as a parent because both of your babies are involved. > Wow. You must be so strong, and I think you are doing a wonderful > job with a crappy crappy situation. > > Hugs, > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
