They certainly were the enemies of you and your sister and each day you had another battle to face. Your determination both then as a sixteen year old and now shows through.
Cheers

Lea, I'll bet your mother wouldn't have reported the sexual abuse even if it had just happened. She probably enjoyed hearing about it. As if you don't already know, your mother is a sick, narcissistic sociopath.

Is this the turning point? Do you leave now as you hint at? Was going to the police ever an option for you, or would they just have referred you to social services who was no help? What a position you and your sister were in! - Jim

    By the time police were option to me. I was an adult and gone.
    Anything I did wouldn't make it better, only worse. Life never is one simple answer.
    I write for 2 reasons, one to get it out there so everyone knows and two put it in a box and on the shelf. Thank you again, my friend as always. You have amazing and inciteful comments. I appreciate you have a grand day.l!

I'm discussed, but not surprised that this incident is included in your story, since in the very beginning you illuded to sexual abuse along with all the other types of abuse. I'm disappointed in your mother's sorry reaction. She didn't try to protect her daughter or stand up for her daughter. She was as useless and uncaring as a stranger on the street.

    Absolutely correct about that she is the classic example of narcissism. Sometimes I think that sociopathic is well. Thank you for your resume and for reading along. I appreciate it so much. I know that some of it is difficult.
    I appreciate your kind comments and your thoughtful words!

Glad to read about your increasing bravery. So much of this seems incredible and unbelievable but your quiet dispassionate style and tone make it all ring so true. I long, still, for escape and release.

It's hard for me to imagine grown men walking around in their underwear, much less nude, in front of young girls, but it happens far too often. A class mate asked me in one day after school. Her father came walking out of the kitchen in his underwear, with a beer in his hand. A site I've never forgotten, even as a straight guy. Thanks for sharing.

    Yeah, that would pretty much shock me too, not a pleasant sight. My stepfather used to try and come to the table with his underwear on so I got him a pair of underwear. it had a picture of a hammer on it and it said useless tool. Yes, I did LOL. Thank you so much for reading again I hope you had the best day!

This is an incident that really took me by surprise, even though I have read nearly every chapter you have posted. If it had only been a couple of weeks gone by, the time to press charges or lodge some kind of complaint was still very open. A friend of mine told me he was assaulted by a caregiver when he was a young teen, but 35 years after the fact. There's a huge difference between a couple of weeks later and years later.
One suggestion:
My sister decided to approach mom.
Capitalize Mom.
Sometimes it seems like the grown-ups in your life were more like strangers.

The only way I can get through these reads now is knowing that you're building up your evidence and will hopefully soon be out of there. That response from a mother to a daughter is positively inhuman. She's so disengaged that have to wonder if she's seriously ill or something. Keep telling yourself, Lea, it's over and take care, There is one small edit: "None of these injuries were (not) treated.."(no need for 'not' as it forms a double negative, meaning the injuries were in fact treated) Debbie x

Sad and tragic post, Rea.
I can't imagine these things happening to such young, vulnerable kids
I'm way too old to be naive.
I know it is reality for far too many.
I love your writing.
It's concise and takes the reader into the story with so much authenticity.
I hope it's fiction!

It's unfathomable to me that any mother would react in that way. I can't wait to see if they get their comeuppance. Hopefully, a long jail sentence.

This is pretty wild. I don't know what your mother could have done earlier that she couldn't still do. I hope there will be a way you can find to get out of this situation. They don't want you and you don't want to be there. You'd probably be better off in almost any foster home. I guess that would embarass your grandmoter, but I know see why she wasn't concerned when you were missing. It looks like not knowing where you were would have worried her. How could she know you were telling the world about her then.

    Yes, you're right about many thanks. My grandmother's issue wasn't whether or not she knew it was at the time for her who was all about protecting herself. She has had a very big reputation to maintain with the government. This would have ruined her. This is why she was so adamant about involving herself. Thank you again for your review and your interest. I appreciate it very much Always nice to see you here hope you have a great day!
