I’ve commented a few times that I’ve fallen behind on writing due to personal stress. Well, I’ve been pretty up-front about my position being eliminated due to the economy. However, while that is upsetting, I have come to terms with it and am well on the way to finding a new position.
The other major thing that has been keeping me on knife’s edge for the past two years has to do with my family. My younger brother died two years ago and, at his visitation (like a wake), my parents were approached by two perfect strangers who informed them that my brother had fathered a child by one of them. These two were a couple and wanted my parents to act as grandparents to their daughter (my brother’s biological child). DNA tests established that the girl is, indeed, a direct descendant of my parents (meaning that she is either my daughter or my brother’s and I have no children).
I thought that this would help my parents heal from my brother’s unexpected and untimely death. However, for two years now, my parents have been subjected to what I consider to be some of the worst possible psychological torture known to man. No matter what they do, no matter how they try to help the pair out, it blows up in their faces and they are denied a relationship with their granddaughter. The SO is the worst and the mother will not stand up to her.
Well, for two years, I’ve kept a running journal of various events to help me cope with all of this. And, I have decided to take the lid off and let some sunlight shine on these two and their depraved manipulations. You can read about it all here. These two people have now alleged that my father physically or sexually abused his two year old granddaughter.
Why am I sharing this with you? Because I want to get the word out that this is actually happening. I want to warn others whether single, married, divorced, or celibate that this kind of stuff can impact them. That innocent people like my parents can and do get accused of the most reprehensible actions by people who have no problem using a child as a weapon in a struggle for control.
What would I like you to do? Read and comment on that entry. If you’re on Facebook, join the Facebook group I’ve started to help my parents out. Nothing more. I’m not asking you to sign anything, to give any money, or to do anything other than click a link, spend 5 minutes reading, and say “this is terrible. I’m so sorry it’s happening to you” so that my parents know that they have some support out here on the faceless Intarwebz.
