you handled the situation with maturity and empathy. it would have been a difficult situation for anyone (and very tempting to ignore), but all the more because you have to deal with your own triggers - i applaud you. 
thank you for looking out for those kids. |
Thanks....although I am carrying a tremendous amount of guilt at the moment....because I saw what was happening and feel like I didn't react quickly enough.
I was in shock and then triggered....and it all happened so quickly....but I feel as though I could've/should've stopped them the minute I saw the boy undoing his pants because I KNEW something was up. But I felt as though I should see it through so that there was actually something real to be concerned about.
Another thing that is bothering me about all this is that the girl is insisting that he was touching her...and she is going around telling other kids that he touches her privates....Yet, what I clearly saw was her initiating it and performing all the actions and him looking uncomfortable with it. I shouldn't pass judgement, because I don't know the history.
I took another day off from work today, because I am just a mess over how I feel right now - about situations with my husband, and about past SA....and about this and the memories it triggered for me.
