Her Husband sexually abused daughter

From anonymous:

I found out that my husband of 21 years has been sexually abusing our daughter for a decade. I forced him to leave six months ago, after which, my daughter told me everything. I couldn't believe it all. It was and is still devastating. He has since been arrested and facing many charges including child molestation, aggravated child molestation and incest. I will never understand how this could happen. Of course now my kids and I struggle with how to deal with a trial where she will have to testify in front of him. There is much more to our story. Maybe I will find the courage to share. Prayer, family and friends have been vital to our welfare in the last several months.

Please know that my prayers are with you. No child should ever have to go through a betrayal, such as this, from anyone, much less a parent.

I am very sorry to hear of your pain and the trauma that has sliced through your family. I can relate very much to what you are going through, and also your daughter, as this is what happened to me.

I am praying for you and your daughter, and the rest of your family. I've been there and know it's a brutal time in your lives.

I can't even imagine the pain you and your daughter are experiencing. What a heart wrenching ordeal.

I pray you and your daughter will find healing through God's comfort and love. I also pray you will have the strength to journey through the pain as you heal and make peace with it all.

Your story sounds similar to that of the wife/mother who wrote the devotional book, Help, My Husband Has Sexually Abused Our Daughter. Deb also gives encouragement in her e-zine called Glory and Strength.

You are not alone. Praise the Lord that your daughter trusts you and told you everything.

Does your state have an active Child Advocacy Center or some other professional organization that would give advice? Even a school counselor or police department may be helpful.

I receantly stuggled in making the dissision to leave my daughters father who was abusing her she was only one and i couldn't believe it was going on and even still stuggle with the reality of it all. I am the only one who knows besides him who is not addmitting anything and her who is only 2 years. I am very scared and lonely. I am actually fighting for custondy of my daughter against her father and there is no actual evidence agaist him so I fear for my daughters saftey.
