Sexual Assault Why I Left The Job I Loved

[Little Flower]

A little more than a year a ago my daughter confided in me that her friends uncle molested her and her friend. The friends father either caught him or the girls told him. This was in the period my daughter was living with her dad.
The girls dad took the uncle aside and told him if it happened again he'd no longer be welcome their. The father was already raising is brothers grandchildren because their parents are drug addicts. The uncle is their grandfather. He didnt get custody because he and his wife are also drug addicts. So instead if walking across the street and telling my x what his brother had done he just covered for him. Even though his daughter was molested too!
When my daughter finally told me she was 21. She begged me not to bring it up or "start" anything. It was in the past and she's settled it in her mind.
In my mind I'm gonna cut off all his fingers
Then the pedophiles mom began coming in library every day. She was friends with my boss . She a grouchy ol woman no one really likes
My boss decides to put her on the library board. Every time she walked in I had to run in the back and cry. Why did I make that promise to her? How many more children has he victimized since then ?
I want action. I'm bound by my word. I quit the job. I've never recovered from that trauma. It's fresh as yesterday

I'm really sorry about what you are going through. If one of my children were molested I'd be distraught and probably want to cut the offenders fingers off too. But having been on the other side and only ever confiding in one person I don't think I could bare it if it came out now. Any confrontation would be way too much. I think you are doing the right thing by honouring your daughters request to leave it in the past. But that doesn't make it any easier for you. I'm sorry you had to leave your job because of it. Do you think that some therapy for yourself would help you to work through some of your feelings?
