I will not let this latest news shatter me. I cried this morning,but now I am determined to help my daughter as much as I can.Her husband is going to prison for molesting my granddaughter,there is proof in his text messages. She is left with a terrible financial burden,she may lose her home,it isn't fair.I can hardly think straight.Does anyone know what I can do?Is there some kind of financial help for women in this situation?
I have no experience in this, but perhaps contacting women's violence shelters someone may know at one of those places? Or contacting her local government welfare/aid office? It isn't fair, I agree. Your daughter is a brave woman, there are many women that will live with denial of such things until their grave, just because they are afraid of losing the husband or the house.
Yes she is. Right now she is more concerned about her daughter than anything else. I hate to see her have the added financial stress,she has a beautiful home, but she may not want it after all because of the memories. I guess I just feel so helpless,I wish there was more I could do.
Check out the family services in your area and also the women specific services. The court may have references that will help as they deal with this situation often. Good Luck...Oh and the churches cause that is what they do. (((((hugs)))))
I'm still so new here but I wanted to let you know my heart is with you. Thank you for supporting your granddaughter and advocating for her and your family in such a difficult painful time.
Thoughts and prayers continue here as well. My best suggestion is to take care of you so you can 'be there' when needed in the capacity asked!!
(((Hugs))) - you have the courage within you - it will rise up as needed, so I believe.
