I don't blame the adult children for telling the truth! They must have lived through HELL and it annoys me when strangers, who have NO clue, attempt to tell them how they should feel or what they should be allowed to say. People who have never experienced abuse do NOT understand the PTSD flashbacks and the trauma that comes out of being forced to live in hell with a monster who should never have been allowed anywhere near children. I've seen and heard strangers say: "Well, go get therapy!" Tried that. The problem is that the therapists around my geographic area CANNOT wrap their brains around the concept that there are monsters who give birth to their own victims and who enjoy raping and torturing them for their own self-gratification. These "therapists" are ineffective, at best, or psychologically abusive at worse, leaving survivors worse off and less willing to attempt therapy again when trust is, once again, violated.
And I'm still wrestling with this..............
