This one is a story about the emotional conflict I'm struggling with: after 20 years of knowing my friend's dad, as almost a second father of my own, he was arrested for harming my friend's step-daughters. While this never personally happened to myself, or my kids, I am still just so confused about everything. I was not in the thick of it, and I'm still struggling. I can't imagine what they are going through, in addition to fighting for the safety of the kids going forward. The journaling is diving more into those deep and darker issues. Life is not always happy and pretty. There are dark sides, too. My friend and her family are attempting to get financial assistance with a gofundme account, and other outside family help.
If you are facing something of this nature, I urge you to get yourself and/or your kids out of this situation as quickly as possible. It hurts everyone. It takes an incredible amount of courage and support to stand up to your own family harming your children, but it can be done.
I am sorry you are going through this, it is hard, my friend has just been through it, and she took the whole family of her friend's into her house to protect them, until the court did their work, and it was safe for them to go back home. There is no fun in this, but protect your kids you should, and I admire you for that. It is a beautiful page, despite all the turmoil it covers. I hope your life can be beautiful and serene, too.
