Hi, I was reading your thread and felt compelled to post. First let me say I am so sorry for what you and your children endured.

I just wanted to offer another side to this, perhaps from your son's perspective... Im an adult now, that went thru some bad things as a child. The problem is, I have blacked most of it out, so much so that I cant remember much of any of my childhood/teen years. Every once in a while things resurface.. not much, never enough.. but just an amount to cause alot of hurt and inability to heal. If there was anyway I could see on record things that detailed my abuse or history of things that happened when I was young, I would be very, very interested in seeing it. It would help me so much and probably finally allow me to move forward. I have so many unanswered questions and my memory is marred horribly so I will prob never know the real truth. If this in any way can give your son the ability to know the real truth of what he went thru or the situations you all dealt with, this maybe why he so badly needs to see it, for his own healing and peace of mind. Ofcourse it will hurt, but that might not be near the hurt he has inside for not knowing.

The choice is yours, but just wanted to offer some feelings on the other side of it. Remember too that anything he reads or sees, you can be there with him to talk to him about it and help him thru it. Maybe even you two could sit down with your therapist to let him read it over and ask questions and get support.
