Mother Had No Clue

[critter crazy]

I think this is very strange that this mother had no idea that her
daughter was being abused for years. Did they never talk at all?

It is not strange at all. Especially if the girl was threatened. It happens everyday, as sad as it is.

Yep, molesters lie...she might have been told something like "If you tell your mom, she won't love you any more and will send you away" crap like that.

Poor kid. I hope the mom DUMPED the creep!

It took me three years to tell my parents anything that happened with my grandfather - they had no idea.

I am sorry if I touched on a sensitive subject. Maybe i'm being unrealistic
in thinking this child would have shown by a change in her behavior or
moodiness & that might be a tipoff of underlying problems that had not
been expressed. I guess it would depend on the individual child.

A lot spouses in abuse cases ignore warning signs, and even ignore the child making abuse claims because they feel that such a thing couldn't possibly happen to them. Its a sad cycle, especially if the abuse is being done by someone that is suposed to be a trusted member of a family.

Ive known a lot of people that have gone through similar types of abuse. Its very sad because usually the person ends up losing a lot of trust in people
