As I remembered her appointment with the therapist,
I realized this was the closest to normal we had been in a long time.

Glimpses of normal,

Hush, it’s a secret; don’t tell anyone he asked her. My life will be ruined.
What a rouse. What a farce. My, what an illusion he painted!

I wish she could have screamed it  from the mountain that day.
I wish her voice would have been heard through her silent tears.
I wish I had heard her calling my name through her hidden shame..
I wish he had never touched her.

Now normal only comes in shards, speckles and shredded little bits.

What about her life, doesn’t he think it was ruined.
Feely guilty, my a**!
How selfish was he?

She was only twelve.
How dare him!

Shock is morphing into anger.

Oh you have to go talk to the police do you,
Oh your going to loose your job.

So What!!!

The only two people I hurt for right now are my daughter and my son.

I do not think I have seen a break in a long time, everytime I turn around something else horrific has happened in my life.  I am so blessed to have a place to write when I need it.

oh, but this aches, jennirey
I remember the heartache you wrote of when your photographer friend was murdered
yes, you are overdue for a break from tragedy
hugs, wishing you peaceful times

My heart goes out to you.  I can only say that you grow stronger than you ever knew you could be. I've been there, too.  And healing comes...

Jen,

There is nothing that anyone of us can say to heal the hurt that you're feeling. But please keep talking to us, keep talking, keep talking. Words help release the tension and words help calm the soul. But it is time that is the great healer. It is the passing of time that dulls the sharpness of the pain. And, although that pain never truly goes away, slowly it becomes more and more bearable. I wish that there was something that the rest of us could do to alleviate the hurt that you have so eloquently expressed. But all of that has to come from within you and, from reading your lines, you do have the strength that you can summon from inside of you and it is that strength that has helped you cope in the past and will help you in the future to overcome every obstacle and every hurt that life throws at you.

Les

Wow...I'm almost crying now.
There is a light ahead and you will find it when you are ready to smile again.
Last year everything I toutched seemed to fall apart. But I have found the light once more and enjoy my life more than ever. We do get stronger  :-)

Thank you for all your kind words, I found my daughters journal and read about the ugly events My ex had done to her (not her father). Her brother was not harmed (his son) I now have to help heal both of thier pains for different reasons. Cps, police group therapy... Over whelming right now I guess.
