[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About a year and a half ago when the pandemic first started, my step-child school writings on google docs were flagged by a school safety officer, because SC was writing about me abusing SC and me abusing her father. None of this was true, but there was a CPS investigation. After extensive interviews of all family members, CPS made a determination that there was no wrong doing on my part and SC was told to continue mental health counseling to address the issues. SC also admitted that it was all made up to the CPS and masked the writings as a book and not a real diary. SC’s mother made similar accusations (abuse/child molestation) during the divorce proceedings, but ended up not getting custody as a result of CPS investigation. There was a lot of tension in the house after the incident. There were other incidents during the pandemic involving , truancy, lying about school work, drinking, sex, and experimenting with drugs. Basically, SC was out of it and ended up having non-consensual sex. Step-child is now a freshman at an in-state school about four hours away. I just don’t think I will ever feel the same towards SC. My DH is forcing a relationship on me, but I want to stay emotionally detached from SC and concentrate on our kids and marriage. I am glad SC is out of the house and hope SC launches well. I still have a lot of resentment toward SC. Is this normal or should I see someone?[/quote]

As someone put in a similar situation by my spouse’s family, it’s horrifying, scary, and you’ll never get past it. How much do you love DH? My spouse at least acknowledged what happened and I have never truly re-engaged with his family and won’t. You should not be forced to have a relationship with SC - SC is a danger to you. [/quote]
