[QUOTE="Texasfilly79, post: 525160"] I do agree that she needs professional counseling and we are in the process of starting. The behavior and issues with Bio Mom we have been able to work through and she has done a complete 180. Reason I am doubting the story just a bit is the paper that she claimed she was kissed and touched when she didn't want to be (but when I asked she said she didn't remember) and her defense mechanisims with the bras to bed, complete freakout when I mention going to the obgyn, and her reactions to the thought of sex (she seems borderline scared/terrified) I know the abuse is there, but I think that there is more to this story or there is another story that I am not being told. I did get school involved only because her school counselor knows her history with her biomom, her transition here to living with her dad, cutting last year, etc and can help point me in the right direction. With the abuse happening 6 years ago, I didn't even know if this will even be investigated by the police. Legally, the teacher CAN NOT tell anyone anything that happens in private session, unless its to the parent and only in circumstances that the childs life is in danger, or to CPS. The counselor even has the legal obiligation to call CPS about the sex abuse but since I (as the step parent) went to her, she is letting me get the ball rolling and is only there for backup. On one hand I feel glad I know about the abuse, but the other part of me tells me I should feel guilty for being happy I know about the abuse. I just feel UGGHHH!!! And forewarning now, I'll probably be venting during the process of the CPS investigaion on the board. To protect difficult child's privacy, I've not told any of my friends about this and mentioning one word to husband about it makes him want to shut down. So please forgive me. [/QUOTE]
