Alleged sexual abuse

Happyhippos242's picture

I feel absolutely sick to my stomach right now. Idk where to even start. I'm just so aggravated, disgusted, confused and overwhelmed.

BM called FH this afternoon stating that her current on-again off-again boyfriends family has accused SS12 of "touching" his 3 yr old sister!! WTF?!?!? My first reaction was utter shock! WTF would lead them to make such serious accusations?? BM said that BF's family said that little girl was "touching" her little 3yr old cousin and somehow they are saying she learned that from her brother????? How DARE they say such a thing with NO reason to suspect it? NO ONE has EVER seen ANY questionable behaviour between ss and his little sister. EVER. SS has NEVER displayed ANY behaviour like this. He does have behaviour problems at home ie fighting with his older 14yr old sister, fighting with his BM, not coming home after school, sneaking out of the house. But NEVER something as disturbing as molesting his little sister. I feel so sick that they could accuse him.

But here's the worst part - She called FH to tell him about the accusations on Saturday but said she wasn't going to bring it up to SS. She didn't defend SS to her BFs family either! She was vague about any details DH asked about and when she wouldn't answer questions he reminded her that she said "I'm done and he needs to live with you" and FH WANTS to take SS full time she FLIPPED OUT. Again. She ranted about how FH is a shitty dad and he can't take her son. Then she said she had to go because she had another call!!!

I asked a million questions about this conversation because I feel like sooo much wasn't mentioned by BM. If I was a mother and someone accused ONE of my kids of touching MY OTHER kid...I would be full of so many emotions - protective? Defensive? Scared? sad? Enraged? I would be PISSED at BF's family, I would be scared for my kids, IDK what I'd feel but more emotions than I could handle at once. FH said all she did was breifly mention what BF's family said - no emotion, and then ranted and raved about FH being a shitty dad!

While I was on the phone with DH, BM texted him and said "you don't even care that our son needs counseling"...OMG. FH has been asking BM and SS to go to counseling (because of their relationship problems) and he's been asking BM to get SS into counseling for YEARS. The CO says that BM is supposed be responsible for SS med insurance and since she never works he is on medicaid. She keeps saying she can't seek counseling for SS because it isn't covered under medicaid and its NOT TRUE. I know for a fact that he can get mental health services through DCF safe families. BUT SHE WON'T GO THROUGH DCF!!! I know it's because she is afraid to bring attention to what is happening in her house!!!

Open enrollment is coming up so FH is going to get SS on his med insurance and get him couseling and we have started documenting what's happening with BM. But this is not something I saw coming. I KNOW down to my BONES that SS would never do anything like that. He is a good kid whole adores his sister. But for his mom to react so nonchalantly about it? Just to bring it up in conversation to play the "your a shit dad" game? I don't get it.

My stomach is in knots.

Thank you. My FH said that he had the call with BM on speaker phone so that MIL could hear the whole thing. This happened right before FH had to start working and I know he must be having the worst night now. I am feeling so nervous and angry and upset. I really want to get more details about what BM said from MIL. FH was so upset I think he left out some details that MIL will remember...but I know MIL must be a mess right now...

NO,these people are not around SS. Its the BM's 3rd childs BF's family and they only spend time with the little girl and BM. It's ridiculous to me that they even said such a thing. And I just founf out the BM said to FH "I guess I'll have to watch SS and little girl more closely". WTF???

No, as far as I know it was not reported to anyone - BM didn't even seem that concerned. I have no idea what was really said by BF's family or why they jumped to conclusions about the alleged abuse.

I do NOT want to beleive its true but YES I have been urging FH to get SS to see a counselor due to other issues he was having at home before this happened. Everytime FH brought it up to BM she got angry and said he didn't need a counselor. FH backs down when she starts getting mad. I think he needs to be in therapy for other reasons but it can only help.

Ugh what a horrible situation! I hope you get this straightened out. I'm sorry your family is having to deal with this.

Happy, this is a very scary situation. Right before my BM shipped off my SS, she and SF began making up stories about SS's behavior being at its worst. They accused SS of physical violence against SF. They also accused SS of pulling a knife on SF. Twice. The 2nd time, they said SS was aggressive and actually tried to stab SS. When we heard SS's version of the story much later, SS admitted to pulling out a knife - in self defense because SF had picked up a large blunt object to use for punishment.

I hope that your BM is not up to something similar, by trying to paint your SS as a molester in order to get rid of him. Did your DH find a lawyer yet? I've been thinking about your situation and praying for your family.

Thank you JASM for your thoughts and prayers. I never in a million years would have thought that this topic would ever be something we would have to talk about.

I don't think that BM agrees with the accusations I just think her reaction was strange given the seriousness of the subject. I've been trying to analyze this from a few different angles and I MIGHT have a theory as to why BM's BF's family said this.

BM and BF have been on again off again for a while. I am pretty certain that the BF tried to keep their little girl away from BM and keep her with his family in the past. It caused a lot of problems in BM's home. BF eventually brought her back but I don't think BF's family was happy about that. BM is AWFUL and it doesn't take long to see it. I honestly wonder if BF's family is grasping at straws in order to keep the little girl away from her mother??
