Not so long ago my youngest daughter came and told me that one of my eldest daughters said that she had been touched by a very(what we thought) trusted family friend.Not only has he dragged this out but has also done this to his own daughter. On the 23rd of this month Myself and My partner and the mans ex wife whom i have recently become friends with have to attend court. I am crapping myself!!!!!!!!!!! I hate court rooms and not only that I HATE HIM!!!!!! My daughter fortunately does not have to attend her statement is enough. My nerves I dont think will hold out that long!!!! but I have to do this for my daughter and every other daughter he might befriend. I have had a hard time dealing with this and my daughter a harder time. My daughters refused to come back to mackay and went to live in melbourne with their dad who hopefully can protect them better then i did. writing this poem was another way of me coming to terms with what he has done. even though it all is still surreal to me.
A Nightmare
When a little girl is beside him
What is going through his head
Who gave him the right to touch her
Why the hell was he near her bed
The way he got her to trust him
and beleive every word that he said
She would have done anything for him
Now she wishes that he were dead
not old enough to understand
Not young enough to forget
And not being there to protect her
Is the one thing I will forever regret
its not him who wants to try and forget
as I am sure he loves to remember
Just how he ruined a little girls life
Not only for now but forever
