[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 731126, member: 13542"] Sumsky, I've been reading along.....for what it's worth, I believe you're doing a stellar job in keeping your daughter safe..... allowing your husband to come to terms with the difficult choices he must face about his son.... and doing whatever you can to also get SS the help he needs..... all the while coming to grips with the situation without judging, as well as trying to seek solutions for SS, as well as letting everyone know what you're finding out .....and that the bottom line is that if push comes to shove, you will protect your daughter no matter what. Now, in my mind, that is a WARRIOR MOM. You're in a difficult situation as the only one who initially saw the truth, however, with your communications to all the players and your willingness to wait so that the best possible solution could emerge, it sounds as if things are slowly evolving in a positive way so that everyone will receive the support they require. Life is not black and white, often we live in the great grey area.....which can be the most challenging place to be.....you sound to me like a person who has the strength and commitment to be able to hold all of the paradoxes, all of the emotions of everyone concerned, all of the skewered thinking and still be able to see the big picture and make healthy choices. I admire how you've handled this very difficult and sensitive situation. You've shown enormous strength, courage, resourcefulness and grace under pressure. You did not react, you [I]responded[/I]. And, you responded with love. When it all shakes out, you may have been the one who helped SS the most by refusing to allow his behaviors. And you protected your daughter......(I am a survivor of sexual abuse and having YOU, the Mom, do all that you've done for your daughter, your willingness to blow it all up for her, will mean more to her than you may ever know, believe me.) You've stood in the middle of the fire and almost single handedly, put out the flames. You may not feel this way right now but however it turns out......you're a hero. [/QUOTE]
