| 39. This happened to a friend of mine. |
|
Her story is somewhat like yours, only from the point of view of the wife of the molester. They were married for ten years, and her husband seemed to be a wonderful man, a leader in his community, a real stand-up guy, etc. etc. Her step-daughter was a handful, a "wild child." One day the girl ran away from home. The step-mother tracked her down to her best friend's house, whose father happened to be a cop. When the step-mother asked why the girl ran away from home, the girl said that her father had been having sex with her since she was a little girl.
My friend believed her step-daughter. She helped her step-daughter file charges against her father, and she filed for divorce. He served time in prison.
