:biggrin: Hi all

I,m so angry and have serouisly damaged my hand by hitting a glass painting and ended up in hospital.

Im 38yrs old and was abused when I was 9 til 14 yrs, suffered in silence of course and developed anorexia and ocd.
I ran away from home because my mother was evil and her male friend was abusing me, I loved my dad but couldnt tell him.
I had my daughter at the age of 17yrs, she is now coming up for her 21st birthday.

I stayed single and brought up my daughter alone and would not entertain men as I was so afraid men would target her. I told her when she was born that my job was to protect her and keep her safe. I worked as a social worker for mental health and thought I knew it all, in a nice way.

In october 1995 I found out my dearest dad was dying of cancer, it effected both my daughter and I badly. we couldnt cope at all, we saw him daily and he became a father figure to her, I trusted him with her life and they were so happy together.
I then met a guy, not planned, but we got on and I trusted him.
after 6mths we moved into together.Shortly after my dad died.
Truma and disppear for both of us.
12mths later my daughter tried to kill herself and ended up in hospital I then discovered she had anorexia. She came home but her weight went down and down until she could no llonger stay at home. She was sent to Kent and we lived in Cornwall. I saw her every other weekend , thats all your allowed.

I began to hate my partner and wanted out, I tried so many times. I finally left, but was told by the professor caring for her if I went through with it I would lose her, blaming herself, she was 4 stone.

Anyway I went back to him knowing that when she was well I would leave. She spent 4yrs in hospital, heart failure and very poorly girl.

August of 2006, I found out that my partner was abusing her from day one , she was too afraid to tell as he threatened her life and mine.
I nearly killed him the day after and have charges against me.
My daughter went to the police and told the whole story, they gathered evidence and then arrested him. By this time Id had a breakdown and was sectioned for my own safety in Sept til Jan this year.

The CPS have informed us that they are not taking it to court because there is not enough evidence for 12 jury to convict and it has to be unamious to get a guilty plea. Also they wont except my statement, why , because it says in the letter she received from them that her MOTHER WAS INSANE AND CANNOT GIVE EVIDENCE, how do you think that has made me feel.
She has so much going for her but theyw will not proceed.

Today he is walking free.

In this counrty, fact , there are 45,000 sexual abusers on the list, guess what 1 in 10 go to court so that means there could be as many as 45,00000
abusers in this counrty alone.

I cant let this go and I dont know what to do, my mind is on overdrive and Im going mad.
WHY WHY WHY, my little girl gone through what I went through and I promised her she would never suffer.

What am I going to do, I cant just sit and let it go.
Im going to a sloicitors next week to see what I can do.

Im so ill now again, and Im trying to support my daughter who did a very brave thing, and has been let down by the system, feeling shes a liar and rejection. Im so afraid Im going to lose her, as she feels she has nothing to live for.
I so scared.

Sorry if this has upset anyone but I needed to get it out on paper and let people know what is actually going on behind our backs.
how can we save these children?

Hi Smudgie

What a harrowing and sad story. I can imagine why you feel mad as there seems to be no justice in cases like this. The CPS only take on cases where they are sure they are gonna get a conviction, hence many crims walking the streets. Have you thought about a private prosecution?

How awful for you all !

The system lets loads of people down as we know but this sort of thing angers me a lot.

Hi all
Im so overwhelmed by your deepest support and kindness. Yes my life has been the pits and im always afraid that my life will continue to be like it because Ive never had a happy life so why should it change now.

Since Ive found this site it has helped me , I know where to run for help, but equally feel guilty because we all have our own probs and I dont think its far.

Thank you all again, it was nice to read your support.

Yes, im not leaving it drop, Im seeing my solicitor at the end of the week, HE WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS, he now knows hes a free man, never will I allow him to feel that feeling.

take care all
love ness

Hi Ness

Like others I truly believe it is a failing of the system when offenders are not prosecuted due to red tape like this. I really feel for both you and your daughter and what you have both been through.

I have anorexia too and although never as ill as your daughter, did spend 3 months at an inpatient unit from October last year until this January. Whatever the cause it is a very difficult illness to fight and defeat but your daughter sounds like she has a strength at her core which has allowed her to fight on so far and you are very brave going ahead with a private prosecution.

Just want to wish you well.

Hi Ness,
I'm so sad for what you and your daughter have and are still going through.I hope and pray that you both will come through this. My heart goes out to you both.
As for the B****** that abused your daughter, its a shame you didn't finish him off altogether when you found out. Only trouble is, you'd probably have ended up in prison!
I am a great believer in What goes around comes around, so one way or another he'll pay for what he's done.
You are both survivors,you and your daughter, and I wish you both justice for what's happened. I am sickened that the CPS say there's not enough evidence to convict him.
Could go on all day about how upset and angry this has made me feel,so I'll go now.
Take care both of you and stay strong

Hi Karen

Thank you for message , Im eager to get this one the way, private case but im getting frustrated by my daughter. I understand her feelings she says she feels let down and disbeleived and why should i bother anymore. Shes right but I cant let it go.

I got a friend up counrty to send him a letter to say DONT START BREATHING ITS NOT OVER YET.
I will not allow him to get away with this.

Thank you for sharing some of your life with me, Im honoured you told me. Im anorexic too and have benn since I was 14yrs old on and off. I blame myself she has turned out the some way as me.

You take good care and speak soon.
love ness

Hi Ness

Please don't blame yourself for your daughter's anorexia. No one else in my family (not that I seem them anymore) has ever had an eating disorder and I had no signs of one until 3 years ago and I'm in my 30s now. So, it can hit anyone at any time.

I can only guess that your daughter is feeling perhaps a bit frustrated by the system, as well as let down and not feeling up to the fight. I know at times during my anorexia I've not cared about anything. I haven't cared if I've woken up in the morning, or what next bad thing happens to me, but the only thing I have fought against is being treated for the eating disorder itself. I guess it is a way of coping with everything else and distracting from it.

Also I feel your love and care for your daughter and wanting to get justice for her. I really hope you can and it works out for both of you. You have a lot of people on your side here.

Karen xx
