UGH!!! I dont even know where to start with this post....
A while back, I posted about finding the blog of the mother of the offender. I stated that I wouldnt google the family again, because I only get upset at what I find. Well...I googled them...Not a good choice. I just get overwhelmingly curious, and I cant stand it. I mainly just need to know that they are dong what they are supposed to be doing (although, I know I would be the one of the first people to know if they werent) Once again, I was deeply upset and outraged at what I found. The mother hasnt been updating her blog at all, but the kids all have blogs, including Jasmine's offender, and trust me, I read them all. I am so overwhelmed with emotions right now, I dont know where to begin. I am mostly outraged, and deeply saddened. It was definitely interesting reading the oldest daughters perspective on the whole ordeal, playing the 'victim' card for her whole family. Stating that we "wrongly accused her sibling of a terrible crime" and how they cant trust anyone anymore because of what we did to them. She wrote about remembering the day that we "ruined their lives" (they day the detectives showed up at their house to question and charge the offender) What is 'funny' to me is how much the oldest daughter doesnt know. Like the fact that her mother told the detectives that Jasmine had tried to tell her about the abuse, but she swept it under the rug, or that the offender failed 3 count them THREE lie detector tests when questioned about what happened to Jasmine, and had admitted it to their lawyer, but didnt want to give all of the details in front of their parents. They should also tell their oldest daughter that in the 25 minutes it took the detectives to drive from their house back to the office, they had retained a lawyer. It just infuriates me. But at the same time, I was shocked at how they have all moved on, like none of this happened. Two of the kids have gotten braces, and one has had them removed. one has been in college for 3 years ( the oldest) one just graduated etc... They go on and on in each post about meaningless b.s. what movies they love, what songs are their favs, what they did over the weekend, their friends, blah, blah BLAH. Like NOTHING happened. I guess pure denial can be bliss for some people. Too bad we cant have that be our reality. FUCK!!!! Lets talk for a second about how MY DAUGHTERS life has been affected by this. lets talk about the day that OUR LIVES were RUINED. The day that I found out about the abuse, or the day that We took Jasmine to CARES Northwest, and she had to be interviewed, and I had to hear first hand most of the heinous details about what that monster did to her. Those things that still give my daughter nightmares. How my daughter struggles to feel normal, or how she hates that people tell her she is pretty or cute, and hates that her body is developing, because she doesnt want anyone to ever find her attractive, because she is afraid of what will happen. But we are the ones in the wrong here. We are to blame. I just feel like I could beat the living hell out of someone right now! How can they just 'move on'? like everything was just a bad dream, and it is all over now? We are left to pick up the pieces.
