I stopped feeling like maybe they believed I knew what was going on and condoned it.<BR/><BR/>Just being able to tell her that I was sorry for her experience took a weight that I'd been carrying for years off my shoulders.<BR/><BR/>Nathan,<BR/>My depression pre-dated my babysitting, though not by much. At the time, I don't know they were neglected--after all, I *was* a self-centered teenager--so I don't think I can blame my depression on that situation.<BR/><BR/>However, I can say that my growing realization of their situation as I grew up was one of the main reasons I stopped going to church. I couldn't bear to see these people proudly walking around as if they were doing the girls a favor, when in fact I knew the truth was the opposite. Just knowing that these abusers were in positions of authority in my church churned my stomach. (The final straw was when my brother's boy scout troop leader became another church "leader"--after he was released from prison for sexual assault on a teenage boy.) It lead me to wonder what other horible secrets everyone else had, as they stood up in front of the church, pretending to be good and pious individuals.<BR/><BR/>Or was that TMI? ;)<BR/><BR/>Jeri,<BR/>I do not know what happened to the youngest girl. Her sister didn't say much, only that the three had lost touch. As the youngest was pre-school aged when she was adopted, she was going to be the most changed by the experience. Which is really too bad, because she--despite always managing to get herself into trouble--had a joy and energy about her that was wonderful to be around.<BR/><BR/>I would assume that she did not get herself into the straits that the middle girl got into, but I also assume that the joy she carried when she was young was quickly drained out of her.<BR/><BR/>And I've come to think that, despite everything, I did help, just a little. When I saw the oldest, one of the things she asked me was if I had any children. When I said no, that I was not going to have any children, her face fell and she said, "that's too bad, I think you'd be a wonderful mother."<BR/><BR/>That made me feel like maybe I did in some way help. Even if it was only a drop in the bucket.Janiecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190655869710465713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-4548668497825317132008-01-29T20:06:00.000-07:002008-01-29T20:06:00.000-07:00Janiece, it's good that you were able to do that. ...Janiece, it's good that you were able to do that.

Who knows, maybe your being there mitigated some of the damage that might have occurred, had you not been there. If you feel guilty for what you might have done, logically speaking, you must take credit for what you were able to contribute.Anne C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09444051201220766948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-66043542359629280002008-01-29T15:58:00.000-07:002008-01-29T15:58:00.000-07:00Wow, how sobering!There is such a wide gulf betwee...Wow, how sobering!<BR/><BR/>There is such a wide gulf between "not physically injured" and "loved"... it's the stuff many family nightmares are made of.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if you could ask the author what happened to the third daughter, if that is known?<BR/><BR/>I agree, the author did all that was possible with the resources at hand.

You should also realize that you were a victim in this situation as well. I don't know you or any of the other circumstances of your life, but I'd strongly suspect that the depression you mentioned had some of its origins in feeling helpless over these children's neglect.<BR/><BR/>I'm also glad to hear that at least one of those kids was able to come out of the whole thing healthy.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648438549121320566noreply@blogger.com
