[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find people on this thread incredibly naive about how life really works.

I was in a similar situation to the sister. There was only one incident and I shut it down and told my mother.

And then life went on. No one was reported or charged. We maintained our family life. I forgave my father and moved on. He babysat our kids and life moved on.

It is a fiction that you can blow up relationships like this and have it be better. For us we needed our father's income growing up. I would not have been better off without him. In addition, I loved my dad. His terrible mistake and all.

#1. You had one incident. She had multiple ongoing incidents.
#2. YOU are naive to think your dad’s sexual abuse stopped with you.[/quote]

No I am hardly naive. I am a realist.[/quote]

So you don’t care that he moved on to someone else?[/quote]

You are so self righteous and foolish. What I knew was if I reported him to authorities instead of just my mother (who interceded for me) is that my father may go to jail, and we'd be homeless as we just scraped by as it was.

My hopes of going to college would be gone, and all my dreams dashed.

There was zero benefit for me to report it to authorities.
