My FD has SA my DS

I am completely in shock. We were so careful. She has been in therapy since she walked in my door. We have talked to all the kids about good/bad touch. No doors are allowed to be closed when more than one child in the room. Everyone involved with her case thought she was making so much progress. I love this child, but it makes me sick to think she has been doing this!
Praising God today that I caught them. Praising God that my therapist has agreed to see us in an hour. I am torn. I just want to crawl in a hole.

Having walked that path here recently and getting PM support from someone I care much about...and did not listen to I'll tell you now that had I been in the know about where I would be "this minute" I would have disrupted that child in a heart beat!
Not saying that is right for you but when stuff like that happens it (IMHO) sullies the relationship.
(((hugs))) I'm so very sorry!

After talking with the therapist and CW, we have decided we are not the best forever family for her. She has been with us for not quite a year and I love her, but it is just not safe. FD doesn't see anything wrong with what she has done and admitted she wants to continue doing it. Even the therapist who has been seeing her was shocked after the session.
I never thought I would 'give up' on a child. I never thought this would happen to us. I was so careful. I feel like I have failed both her and my other children. This is the hardest thing I have ever done.

I am so sorry. You have to believe that you did the best that you could, ultimately, you cannot fix something in a child that has these issues. She will need much more intense therapy than she is getting I am going to guess. I hope that you all find some peace. I cannot even imagine how you are feeling right now. We are here for you.

You are not giving up on her. I am sure your prayers and hopes will follow her. It is not your fault she needs more than can be provided in your home and even if all you can give is to keep her in your heart and prayers from here on out, that is not giving up! I am sorry for your heartbreak.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry you had to go through this. I pray your FD gets the help she needs.

I agree - you are not giving up on her. She needs a level of care and supervision that you cannot provide her. The fact that even her therapist was shocked at what had occurred should relieve you of any guilt you feel or are placing on yourself.

Focus on your family, grieving the loss of your FD and helping to heal your DS. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, and your FD.
