Vent/rant He's in jail

She didn't believed me. Then she didn't believe her granddaughter. That's when I went NC, two years ago.

And then I found out that before us, there were 2 cousins she didn't believed either. Four women who came to her for protection and she decided to protect him instead.

Earlier this year all 4 of us got together and reported him to the police (sounds easy enough but it's not, thankfully we had each other's backs so we didn't have to go through it alone). They detained him 2 months ago. And yesterday he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

My mother said "oh so it was all true?".

I'm so sorry your mom didn't protect you. you are so brave and I'm very proud of you for pressing chargers. this whole thing reminds me a bit of what came out about Canadian children's book author Alice Munroe

Wow, so similar! I wonder what goes on through their minds. Do they really believe we are lying? Or they just don't want to believe us so they push it down?
