Justice and protection for my children
Alright world I need your help. I am not one to post or ask for money, but find myself in a level of desperation.
When I was 14 I fell victim to a child predator who was 10 years older. My home life was less than desirable which contributed to my vulnerability. Like I had said I was 14 and fell victim to a charismatic, manipulative predator. And for the next 8 years years would be forced to endure the most extreme levels of violence, from physical assaults, sexual assaults, isolation, and deprivaty. He was able to break me. I was a child with no supports. His family only encouraged the violence as they consoled me but told me I need to be better, that i make him act this way, that it's not his fault. The devastation, pain, torture and humiliation I endured, I cant even begin to describe. It is a part of my life I hate to be reminded of, but I cant dismiss the 3 beautiful children I had been given.
Our oldest daughter was raped by his nephew, and in attempts to hide it, she was punished. And I was never told, and she was to scared to tell me. They had told her that despite her deserving it, she was to blame. It took her 2 years to come forward. We have and continue to deal with the pain and humiliation she felt. With the depression, with her cutting. You might ask why we didnt go to the police.. We did. And they decided to proceed. It was the prosecution that decided to drop the case because our daughter took two years to come forward.. They question the accuracy of her timeline being that her cousin would have been exactly 12.
After escaping I managed to gain my autonomy, my own identity and provide the safety I had never known. I put my children first, always.
He, my children's father was later charged and convicted of possession of child pornography. He had 23000 photos and videos of children being raped and assaulted, ages infant to 12. Some of the material was arguably self taken. He was sentenced to 1 year... He served 8 ish months.
I fought hard and after thousands of dollars, ( roughly 20 thousand in legal fees and currently sitting around 30 plus at this point) I was granted sole custody of our children with him having no access.
He had attended a 3 day course. And some counseling from his uncle. He is now demanding access. His current spouse is much younger than him. They began their relationship when she was 14/15 when he was in his 30s. And now they are expecting a new baby.
Despite refusing to divorce me, settling on the family home, or paying child support for the last 8 years, he has forced me to prove paternity of the children claiming they are not his and now wants access (they are his and it was proven). I have trusted in the courts, and now, I stand before you to say, what they are telling me, that he is entitled to access. He has not seen the children in 5 years. I have financially drained myself. I do not intend to stop fighting, instead I will fight harder. I am simply telling you what I am up against. My children's well being and safety are threatened and I do not take it lightly. I am told the access will be supervised... as if that is suppose to be comforting. I need help to fight this monster. Please help.
