I'm so very sorry this is happening to your family. I so hope something works out, if it was the babysitter, why are the parents and child being separated? Isn't that going to be worse for the little girl? My thoughts are with the poor little girl and her family, she needs so much love right now, may she be safe, loved and please angles look down on her and keep her from any more harm.

love, metime Bad news... my thoughts will be with you too honey sending gentle and caring hugs

thank you jacq.. we can share this boat together... i see from your post the rides a little bumpy on your side too ...

i know that forgiveness is divine and its my philosophy to love all... and yet.. i imagined what i would do with two hours with this dude if i had it... kindness and anger would combine and i would yell and yell... but its the part of me that wants to hurt him.. toteach a lesson that i'm struggling with... i want him to feel the same humiliation and degradation and i want to be the one who teaches him... i want to see him cry....

thank you for listening...

I think its very natural for you to feel this way. I understand how you're philosophy is to love, but you are human, and its completely understandable how it would be difficult for you to still love him given how much pain he has caused for your family.
In time he will understand what he has done, and if he has a little bit of human left in him than he will feel humility.

Of course you don't want anyone to feel pain, but unfortunately, not you, nor anyone can change what happened. All you can do is show your love for her, and be there. Just be who you are. No one can ask for anymore than that.
She's very lucky to have someone like you who cares so much about her.
Hang in there ... Bad news...

I can understand your anger and hurt and confusion. I just hope he gets his comeuppance, let him loose in prison, let him have 'an accident'.

Take care of you, sending love and hugs sweetie, I have the little girl in my thoughts along with you. May she have peace and love in her life from now on......

Hugs, Jinny xxxxxx Bad news... Bad news... Bad news... Bad news...
