My mother said she was sorry, and it meant nothing. It was just yet another method to try to suck me back in to her sick world.
I don't hate my mother, and I forgave her long ago, but that doesn't mean I have to let her keep treating me badly.
Also, children don't lie about abuse as a rule. If there is any doubt, a trained specialist can spend 5 minutes with a child and tell you if they are telling the truth - even after they become adults.
As a court appointed special advocate for foster children, I can tell you, every adult involved in the case have their own agenda, always leaving the children in a quandry and often being forced to live in a hellish environment. CASA's are the only voice these children have. Sadly, not all cases end in what's best for the child, but what's wanted by the person with the best attorney.
