In the great words of Maya Angelou...." I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better."
I have spent many nights feeling horrible about allowing my child to be questioned by the elders after her molestation. Many people have come down hard on my husband and myself for not standing up and marching them out of our home, we wish we would have.
It's extremely difficult to do the right thing when your thoughts are controlled. We failed our child in that moment, but never again! We have since learned to do better.
We can't all be hero's right on cue, but it's what we do after we know, that's important. I hope that makes sense, I'm not really good with expressing myself through writing.
Anyways, thank you for speaking up.
