It is no justification, but when my daughter was abused in Thailand, I was in retraining, and I really thought that she was being looked after. I had no idea that a scum bag pile of crap called Abraham Ireland was abusing her. Even now I see red and if I knew his legal name I would let Interpol know about this child molester.
My daughter only told me much later on, when she herself realised it was abuse (from the letters she thought she had to "submit") Also when she realised that I thought the whole sharing idea was wrong. How disgusting and heartbreaking that she felt no protection from her parents, no one she could turn to.
I was sent out on the streets all day every day. (This was in Thailand)
It's amazing how naive and stupid we were, to think that our supposed brothers and sisters really loved our kids enough to do the right thing by them. I can't believe I really believed that One Wife crap.
I can understand the persons lack of understanding over what we went through. I still don't understand how I could have let my kids get spanked like that that, or put on silent restrictions. I still can't believe I read that crap and thought it was from God. It still stuns me that I would read the Davidito series and not puke and raise hell at the abuse he suffered.
Ultimately though our kids saved us, because we did love them, and realised that the Family was destroying our kids. When my 9 year child told me he felt like killing himself, I was just stunned. What was wrong with this picture? Here we were in fairyland, where everything supposedly was bright and happy and my kid wanted to kill himself?
Of course the leaders said, it was all my fault. Even though we only got see our kids for an hour a day. My husband and I finally put two and two together and realised, that our kids were suffering, and it wasn't our fault (what I mean by that, is that we not allowed any input into their lives, I don't mean we weren't responsible for being in the Family)
We decided our kids were the best and we couldn't face other people dealing with our kids and us having to sit on our hands like silent idiots.
So we left. The funniest thing was as we were so apprehensive as to what our kids would think, and when we told them, they cheered! That really shocked us.
