[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 283317, member: 1157"] I'm just so sorry your family is going through this. Perhaps trying to talk to your wife about the OTHER kids in the family and how they must feel about this, might crack her defenses a bit... what kind of life is it for them, to live in constant fear of their brother? Maybe if you approach it that way, she'll see a light, or a glimmer of a light. Otherwise, I'm afraid you really don't have much choice except to get out with the children you have the legal right to take with you, and call CPS to deal with the rest. If your wife keeps blinders on, things will only get worse. I am still appalled that the therapists didn't immediately take action after a molestation claim. They do indeed have an ethical and legal obligation to report suspected abuse to the authorities. I am also so incredibly sad that we have so many parents/stepparents on this board that are going through similar situations right now... it's heartbreaking for the families involved, especially for the other children in the families.
