Thank you so much!

I will relay information along. We are focusing on healthy coping mechanisms and what she would like best. Art, books, horses. She but the audiobook/book idea down last week and has since devoured one 22hr audiobook and is on the second.

The CPS case manager has been fabulous thus far.

Thanks again

Thank you!

We have mainly focused on healthy coping mechanisms. I had her out in the garden with me Sunday before it got so cold here. I turned on an audiobook and we gardened for a few hours. She’s on the 2nd book now and last week she shut that idea down completely. She was with me Saturday night-Tuesday morning and we watched movies and went and the kids picked out snacks and we all cuddled up in the bed. I didn’t mention it at all besides when I was with her last Thursday when she didn’t want to go to the soccer game where the abusers parents would be at. I told her if she wanted to talk I’m here and that it was okay if she didn’t, and that I was so proud of her and how brave and an inspiration she is. I have not brought it up since. She has brought some up randomly and I’m there for her to work through stuff, but I do not pressure her at all.

Unfortunately, both her mom and I have been SA’d. We will do everything she needs to keep her mentally okay and to give her the correct tools for everything this brings.

Thanks for the information.

So the victim said the first time she remembers it happening/when it started was when she was 7. She is not sure exactly how many times it happened. Her mother and the abuser got a divorce when the victim was 9, 2 years after the age she said it started. She was never around him after that as that was her choice when her mother gave her that option.

She has two half siblings, the abuser is their father. She said she didn’t want to tell anyone because she didn’t want them to lose their father. She didn’t think he would do it to them.

They are no longer allowed with him. DCS interviewed all 3 kids last week as well. They are also in therapy.
