[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 175192, member: 45"] You're right, it is more common than you might think, although that doesn't make it any easier to deal with. The way it's dealt with depends on the age of the kids involved and whether it was forced or mutual. Do you have a safety plan? Have you talked to CPS yet? CPS will ask you about the safety plan. Ours included locks and alarms on bedroom doors, and a plan to make sure the two were never alone together unsupervised. I can understand the counselor only wanting to talk to you first. They'll want to hear what has happened and probably what to do now that you know. Then they can decide the best way to approach treatment for your kids. I understand how difficult it is - I'm there right now. I don't feel like I'm doing enough, or that things aren't moving fast enough. But, its sounds like you're doing all you can. You've contacted everyone you need to, you're starting the counseling, you're keeping them separated. Don't blame yourself. Really, how could you have known? You can't be around them 24/7. If the therapist tells you it's your fault, in my opinion find a new therapist who can help get to the real problem and actually help the kids. That's not to say that now that you do know, you have a responsibility to be extra-vigilant. I'm sorry you have to deal with this, I know how hard it can be. Linda [/QUOTE]
