A customer of mine stopped in this morning to get air in her tire. She was on her way back from the courthouse which is a couple of miles up the road from me.
I was in shock when she told me why she was in the courthouse.
It appears as if her ex has been molesting his/her 3 daughters 7. 11. and 15 for years . The 15 year old daughter finally came out and told her mother about the abuse, and said it has been going on for as long as she can remember.
I know this family well, I have been working on their cars for 15 years, and I almost dated the mother of these girls at one time 20 years ago, we have remained pretty good friends over the years.
I do remember her daughter telling me something that alarmed me about 7 or eight years ago, and I said something to the mother , and the grandmother of the children.
I am just blown away, she told me this morning, and I have been dwelling on it all day. I never liked her ex husband, I know he was physically abusive early on in the relationship, and I have always thought him to be a deadbeat, but I never expected this.
I did not even know what to say to her, I wish there was something I could do , but I think the damage is done, he has probably scarred these poor girls for life.
