sexual abuse “long” worried mom can’t sleep?
Question by Tired: sexual abuse “long” worried mom can’t sleep?
I found out through a source that my child was being molested by her father I was suspecting it but could not prove it at the time. My child didn’t tell me because she was afraid I would not believe her as her father told her nobody would believe her. I found out her father changed medical information where I could not be contacted. I went to make a visit to find out why my child was on a prescription for her bowels but only had to take it at her fathers house and he never told me about it. In Nov I had test done that showed no reason why she should be on this prescription. When I started figuring out what was going on her father filed for full custody. My daughter was treated like total crap during the investigation and I was told and my family that he is a cop no way could he do something like this.
My child is scared of him and I did everything I possibly could have to keep her protected without any success with how the Ohio laws are.
He ended up using this against me in court as there was not enough evidence for him to be conflicted it probably had something to do with he knew the police department handling it I tried to get it moved to another county and had no luck. My daughter missed a lot of school over the winter from UTI infections to saying her females hurt and I always had to take her to the doctor every time she would come home from her fathers.
So anyway they used all this against me in court and said my child and myself made it all up to make him look bad. I was told if I didn’t settle he would probably end up with full custody and I would have supervised visitation at his home with my child. Nobody had taken my daughter seriously I was mad at the fact I was accused of making this up when I was indeed one of the last people to know. Another child witness my daughters dad abusing her and went and told her mother and grandmother which is how it got back to me. But this other girl was not aloud to give testimony because she is family.
Her father claimed I was unfit to handle her schooling because she missed school which was do to the matter above.
My husband is active duty and the courts said because of my husband being active duty and us having a new baby at home and me being a stay at home mom why he is deployed this is not a stable environment. So now I get my daughter every other weekend and a few hours through the week. I have to pull her out of school and cheerleading because the courts ordered her to go to school where her father lives in his care.
My husband is court ordered to carry for insurance on my daughter because her father can’t be trusted doing so. The whole time I was at court all I heard about is how I already got my hands full with a new baby and this would be easier on me and all the BS. How much of an unstable environment it is because my husband is military that burnt my husband down as low as you can get.
Then after court my child father had his parents there because I am sure they footed the bill for his legal cost his mother had the nerve to tell me this is for the best and you are more than welcome to see her whenever you like. Which was un called for because she said it loud enough for everyone outside of the court room to hear.
Everything I tried to do as a mother to protect my child failed! When I had to tell her what the court ordered she begged me not to take her to her fathers and there was nothing I could do about it. I done everything I can what else is there for me to do? After all he is a police officer and because of that he was treated like he was above everybody else. Meanwhile my husband was made to look like a joke as a human being because he is active duty military. I am so disgusted with all of this and just wanted some advice on where to go from here? We had someone appointed by the courts who said the child was better off with her father and during and before court acted like he was best of buddies with my childs father.
So seriously we all have done everything we can what should I do now?
Peter I did all of that I had everything I needed from doctors and it meant nothing at all when it came down to the investigation and in court.

can’t beat “The Man” unless you go Rambo…. People who have connections and influence over others are hard to beat. If you’re not an atheist/agnostic, pray that all will go well in the future.
