I have not been to this site in quite a while. I have been just trying to live my life and not think about what I have been through. It hasn't worked. When I posted my first thread I got such great advice about fighting for justice. I wasn't sure how to go about doing so. I recently contacted a women and childrens advocacy agency and she did some leg work for me. She found out that my father was never charged with molesting me. He was charged and plead out on molesting my sister. He got distributing to the delinquency of a minor and served one night in jail and one year probation. She said with the statute of limitaions laws it might be difficult for me to do anything about it now. After more research she found that if I was ten or younger in July of 1984 than I can still press charges. I had just turned ten that year so I fianally have the opportunity to see justice. She arranged for me to go the the police station today to give my statement and hopefully within a day or so my father will be arrested. I also found out that my father did not only molest my sister and myself but he also molested three of his sisters while growing up. This is a definite pattern and I suspect there has been others throughout the years. My main goal is to get my father on the sex offenders list and to have him admit to what he has done to me. He did admit to my brother that he did molest me so I have some evidence in case he tries to deny it now. Part of me feels bad about the thought of putting my father in prison. He was my father and we were raised to love and respect our parents. It was very hard for me disown them and to go against the family. The other part of me says he deserves everything he gets for what he has done to me. I am 31 years old and I still do not sleep though the night. My nightmares haunt me both in my sleep and while awake. I get flashbacks often and find it hard to live a normal life. My hope is just sticking up for myself and letting him know that it is not ok with me what he has done, will help me sleep better at night. I'm just not sure how the get over the guilt for putting him in prison. Wish me luck for I think this is about to become a long bumpy road.
