Such wise and compassionate words @Mad Betty. Like you I truly hope that these young souls are shown a way out of this and guided to safety so they are able to enjoy the rest of their lives as happy, well adjusted women. Too much of their childhood has been stolen by this Abuser who calls herself a mother and who clearly cares nothing for their well being.You're a such a kind and loving soul. Some of the purest hearts have risen from the most painful experiences. You are clearly one of them.
I will always wish for healing in families. My husband just lost his father and I'm currently supporting him through it. He wasn't an easy man, but there was a lot of love there. I'm extra sensitive about fathers and their children right now.
I don't like to think of children being estranged from a parent who loves them. I've seen too many broken children become broken adults because of it. I've certainly learned so much about parental alienation from all of this and how it can clearly wound the most tender parts of little souls.
I see a mother ensuring her daughters follow in her own path of estrangement from her own father. Painful stuff.
History repeats itself if you aren't careful.
That all said, I choose to stand in hope with you.
MOO
Sending much love and cwtches to both you and your husband as you navigate the loss of his father
