[QUOTE="Sumsky, post: 737290, member: 22893"] I have already met with an attorney and am prepared to start divorce proceedings if need be. At this point my daughter and stepson have had no contact. Stepson is only home if my daughter is not there. It has taken 6 months now to finally have the evaluation and we will have the results Tuesday. My husband has had a hard time accepting the situation with his son. (His grandparents influence hasn’t helped). The perp is his son and I have 2 children (son 17 and daughter now 13) from a previous marriage. So husband would not have any contact with my children. I am also prepared to have a restraining order placed on my stepson if need be. Trust me when I say that every step I have taken was putting my daughters safety and well being first!! And I will not allow my children to live as if they have any wrong doing in this (no cameras and alarms). That being said, neither of my children want to leave their home and disrupt their life. They both feel that they did nothing wrong and should not have to suffer for it (by moving to a new home) I am trying to make that happen. There is a lot that is riding on the Tuesday appointment. If stepson is NOT sent to residential treatment or removed from the home in some form, then we will leave. And I will have to work with my kids to explain that. They have already made the comment that once again, stepson ruins it for everyone. That is part of why I am still there. Because my daughters safety is not compromised at this point and I am trying to give them the stability of staying in their home. Stepson wants nothing more than for us to leave and him and his dad to live happily ever after. So for us to leave means he wins.... that may sound petty and not really the point and again I would never ‘play that game’ to the point of compromising my children’s safety. But I will do battle to make what is right happen!!! It is not right for my children to have to upset their life because he is a predator!!! I am still hopeful that my husband will accept their seriousness of stepsons actions and realize that he needs more help than we can give him. And that my daughters safety HAS to come first. He has come a long way in the past 6 months and says he will accept the outcome regardless.... that remains to be seen! [/QUOTE]
