I'm heartbroken and sick to my stomach… My niece (actually my ex's niece but I still claim her)reached out to me last night. She wanted to make sure that Dds adoption went through because she wanted to let me know I did the right thing. I asked what she was talking about and she told me that when she was about 12 her uncle ( dds bio) exposed himself to her while she was at our house. She said nothing else happened but he was trying to convince her it was OK. I am so sad that she didn't feel comfortable coming to me that night. The one person she did go to her grandma Who has custody of her told her never to tell anyone and she knew that her son had a problem.i'm sad and pissed off. I wish I would've known I could've protected that little girl. She just turned 16 and afraid that all people Are as fucked up as her family. I told her how sorry I was I didn't know. I'm so glad he's in prison now and my daughter will never know him. My niece just moved back in with her mom so hopefully she starts to feel safe to open up soon. I'm so glad I've cut them all off. But I will always be there for her. I'm sorry I don't really know what the point of posting is. I just feel sick to my stomach I wish I would've known. But then again if I would've known there would be no dd. I love my girl to the moon just not the scum that helped me make her. I'm so glad we're all free of him.
