Today after such an amazing day yesterday I’m going to give you more of Alyson’s story! As of yesterday, Alyson’s voice has been heard! She was ready to share her story. We went to a benefit to #SaveOurChildren and for the 1st time in 14 year’s, I stood up as she asked and told it. Alyson’s amazing and I’m so proud! So let’s keep going.

I left off in my last blog that I was granted emergency custody of my daughter with her father having no contact at all, pending the outcome of the investigation. So Alyson was with me and doing very well all things considered. I brought her to a therapist that I had gotten in place before I even told her and when they were done they came to speak to me. The woman said, “Your daughter is so strong and there’s nothing we can do here for her. If you need us you call us but, she’s doing very well.

4 week’s passed and I finally heard from the lead Detective on our case. He asked me to come down to the State-Police station to talk, alone. I was a bag of nerves but, here goes nothing. I head down to talk to the detective, a day that will forever change my heart, mind and soul.

The Detective was waiting for me and something in my momma gut told me this wasn’t going to be good. We went into his office and he asked me to sit. Again, these are the words that will stay with me forever, “We have concluded our investigation Mrs. B and UNFORTUNATELY it’s, “He said, she said and there’s nothing we can do. To make an arrest without a confession would mean that we would need strong evidence to present to a jury and we have, none. She’s going to have to LET IT GO”! The words hit me like a sledgehammer! Not only did I have to tell my beautiful daughter that her father molested her friend, find out she also was molested but, now he would WALK SCOTT FREE”! I was busted! How could I tell my baby to, “GET OVER IT”!?

Today I’m going to take a huge risk and for the 1st time I’m going to share my family’s story about Sexual and Emotional abuse, Detectives, Investigations into abuse and the outcome that we received. I’m going to share this as the only public speaker at a #SaveOurChildren benefit. The person running the event is a friend of mine and she knows our story. Not many do because it’s one thing that our family had decided not to share openly up until, now. There’s a hero in this story and it’s not me. So come along on our journey that forever changed our family. I am going to do this in a series of a few blogs. It’s a very long story and every ounce of this story deserves to be shared. I AM my daughter’s voice. My daughter is now a 28 year old woman with her own son. She wants her story shared. My daughter, my hero.

The year was 2006 and it was a very special day in our family. It was my daughter’s 14th Birthday! Birthday’s are a huge deal in my family because I love celebrating my children and family. Heck I love celebrating anyone that deserves to be celebrated. My daughter, her friend whom I won’t name and myself were all at my parents house starting my daughter’s very special day, or so we thought at the time anyway. My daughter’s father called me and wanted to come see her along with his wife to bring her some gifts. This is exactly what I’d expect because he was a wonderful father and he and Alyson were very close. Of course I said, “Come right over”! We weren’t together but, we had a beautiful daughter together and he also should get to see her on her Birthday.

My daughter’s father and his wife came to the house and when they did my mother noticed a change in my daughters friend’s face. It was strange and my mom picked right up on it. My daughter’s friend excused herself to go use the restroom which was upstairs in my parent’s home. After her not coming back down within a 15 minute period my mother went upstairs to see if she was alright while I stayed downstairs with my daughter, her father and his wife. Little did I know but, life was about to change, forever.

This is a very sensitive story that my daughter has recently decided, as an adult to go public with. For that reason most of this blog is going to be locked and be exclusive to Coil subscribers.
