Thank you for sharing your experiences too, although still fresh and a million emotions going on, I can relate totally your feelings as parents, and can feel them tangibly through your posts. I hope your babies, as they are always our babies, are doing ok.
Therapy is the stage we are at now to, and my employer has also recommended that I get support from our in house people, RW I think I would be in danger of becoming overwhelmed as you described, with the day to day issues I field at work.
More than anything I am angry, which Is not a good feeling for anyone.
I think that feeling of helplessness in preventing these things, and being able to protect the kids as they grow up is more than challenging.
RW what a disgusting betrayal by someone so close.
And winni your daughter was so young, and doing something really good, which is what we teach our kids. I hope they caught the b*******.
Your right winni these things are sent to test us, they shape us all, but sadly not for the better.
Westie, I'm not sure that I agree with the last statement. Though negative incidents in our life are troubling and put us through a tough time, I believe it's HOW we deal with them that makes us grow into compassionate beings.
Even saying that though, I get chills down my spine in thinking what might have happened in the worst case scenario. Even making the above statement, I am hard pressed to believe that I would be able to heal and live a 'normal' life if anything ever happened to one of my children.
