Even though you already shared that last week, I'm still lost in words.. Don't blame yourself for leaving please, it could have been you.. And you got out.. thankfully.. But that poor woman and her children :( so sad. I hope they never ever release that monster again. Also, I can't really justify how (grand)parents keep bailing out their (grand)children if they actually need a lesson to be taught, even if it's your blood, you don't want them to end up being monsters like this right?
But it's good that something good came out this as well, that your daughter is now getting to know her brother..
Take care <3
Thank you @anouk.nox
I'm still trying to get over the fact that he had her hidden all this time while his grandparents were there too. I just found out that he had her hidden in a closet for months before he moved her to the barn. Which makes me wonder even more. His grandmother was still quite agile and always cleaning the house! So unless he had her upstairs in the apartment where no one ever went, she surely must have smelled something. I don't know. I don't want to suspect anything I'm not sure of, since both his grandparents passed away a few years ago, so I won't even speculate. His grandfather died only a year after this, so that does make me wonder if he knew something and the guilt eventually killed him. He wasn't sick, he just passed away overnight.
And I agree, something good will come for my daughter and her brother. It has to be. For them and their future.
