Re: Parents need not be biological.

The thing is kids attach to their main caregivers even when they are in abusive situations. The mother did the wrong thing but we don't know how she treated them at other times, even some of the most abused children (especially the younger ones) still love and care for their parents.

The kid did what she needed to do, and what she was supposed to do. Her life will be better off now that she's taken out of there,as long as the Aunt and Uncle are very strong and supportive. I just think it's wrong to say 'oh the kids out of there now so it's all going to be better and we'll all live happily ever after'.

I just think it's unrealistic. Not to mention the 10 year old at least is the one empowered, she had enough and she did something about it which is wonderful, but the 5 year old is probably not going to have any idea what's going on. It will be better for her to not be with her abuser any longer but she's still going to wish she was at home with her Mommy and why is she in jail. You're sister told about you guys being molested so now you're mommies in jail, because she let it happen, and now you have to move to your aunts house. You can't tell me that doesn't mess someone up.

I understand what you're trying to say though, it's good that she's out of that situation and all hope is not lost, she's not damaged for life. I just don't think it's realistic to say all is well now.
