Yesterday, I heard from the lead detective, in the case against my father, for molesting my daughter.
It was sad to hear that none of my siblings will speak to the police.
I expected it from my sisters, and definitely from my mother, but it was truly disappointing to hear, that even my brother, who has daughters, would not cooperate with them.
As disappointing and as sad as it was to learn, how uncooperative they have been, it was not a surprise.
My older sister had already told my daughter that she could not support her this way because she had to support my mom. I am positive that my sister has not told her adult children, that their grandfather, molested and sodomized my daughter over 35 times, and had been fondling and grooming her since she was 11.
My younger sister made her feelings clear in a text she sent me after she heard the horrible charges against my father.
I have not heard from her or her family since and I do not expect to.
Maybe if my sisters had a daughter that was molested and sodomized over 35 times by their own father, they would feel differently.
My brother is a completely different story. I assumed he had some understanding of what I was going through. He has two daughters of his own, surely he would be empathetic if anyone would. But I assume since he has taken over my fathers business he has other concerns and more to lose.
I know now, that I have finally lost my entire family…my father through his actions and betrayal, my mother because she stood beside my father, my sisters because they had to support my mother and now my brother.
I lost them all because my father had been abusing my daughter since she was 11.
I lost them all because we will never share the same feelings about what my father has done.
I lost them all because for them to move on with their lives, my daughter must be forgotten, my father must be the victim and I must be the monster that destroyed him.
