Both my 10 year old son and my 8 year daughter have been exposed to sexual abuse, by a family member of my side. It was reported to the police immediately and my daughter was examined, thankfully no physical damaged was done.
Although the law side of it has been handled appropriately, I feel that as a family we have been disapointinly let down with any support from proffesionals. I appreciate know one really knows the answers for surviving and re educating a happy life, but it is almost like the criminal is getting more support and advise than the victoms. My own mother has turned her back on me and her grandchildren to support the abuser(Her Son, my Brother).I am finding this very difficult to cope with. My son doesnt seem to want to talk and then my daughter seems so irratic with her emotions. My husband is still in shock it seems and again like our son, gets very angry when I try to talk with him. Will my family ever be happy again or will we just learn to survive lifes journey?
