My daughter was molested (8 yr old) one time by one of my brothers. God is so great that allow me to find out as soon as it happened. Soon after that we moved to US. In that week when happened I told my mother and she did not believed me, I told my dad he did not do anything and I did not want to expose my daughter to the police or government doctors examinations.
So I didn’t do anything.
I has been 22 years ago and it hurts like if was yesterday. Few years back living in US where you learn that you need to speak about it, I started to tell everyone in my family about what he did to my daughter. Few years ago I became a Christian believer but in my mind I have not been able to forgive him, I pretend he does not exist. We had a wonderful childhood, great parents and I still don’t understand WHY HE DID IT.
Thank you for sharing this story. As a mother, I can not begin to imagine the pain that comes from learning something like this has happened to your baby. Wanting to understand why or how a person can do something like that is human nature but what’s truly important is moving past the trauma & beginning to heal. Talking about it is extremely courageous & I hope it helped you & your daughter. Someone once told me, when you forgive a person, it isn’t for them. What has been done isn’t suddenly undone or okay. Forgiveness is for you. Letting go of the negative will heal you in a way you didn’t know possible. I wish you & your daughter the best.
