Bibbity that is not what happened. When our younger daughter described the abuse, she kept saying “oh it was nothing really” playing it right down, it is only in the last year she finally explained in graphic detail what had happened. We did ask her sister at the time of her brother had touched her, being entirely honest I think knowing our elder daughter in hindsight if it had been the other way around we would have been less surprised. The younger daughter had done really well in school and university and seemed to be more together in general. But she did have some relationship issues that rang alarm bells in university. We had no idea of the scale of the abuse when our daughter originally told us, not for many years after.
She said she wanted to tell everyone he was a paedohile, which as you can read above did not seem to be the case to us, we thought it was teenage misadventure. She said she wanted nothing more to do with him, which was going to tear the family apart completely. I don’t remember any of this conversation, this is what she told us more recently so I’m not really sure.
We have always had a together family and that would have been impossible if we could not have all of our children and grandchildren in the same pace. In fact we did have a together family for years after, she attended a lot of things he came too with their families. She already had a child before she married and she wanted that he would not have contact with her child. I assured her that she would never be alone ever with our son and she never ever was. Although our daughter and her husband would always be around with their children if he was there.
I believe our daughters have gone to the police now, they have not spoken to us about it. DH was told by our son who has spoken to a barrister that it is unlikely that he would be prosecuted for what has happened.
