Praying for healing

Message of Healing

Being free from fear of being harmed.

Last year I disclosed information to my counselor about my husband abusing our son and my daughter, as well me for 20 years. She had to contact DCF and I had no idea. So she did, and they contacted me. I told them in great detail about the horrible abuse and fear we lived under. I gave them video proof and explained that both of my children were trauma bonded and I wanted them to be in counseling. Location DCF assured me they wouldn't let him know that I spoke to my counselor because it was putting me at risk of more domestic violence. They came to our home and they asked everyone but me questions separately. They then told my husband that I was the one who told my counselor. I heard one caseworker say it to him on the front porch. He began to use his narcissistic skills to persuade them to think differently and they got duped. They couldn't even spot that my children were traumatized and trying to protect their abuser by lying about the abuse. I have 0 faith in Location dept of Children and Families, and I never will. Yesterday, we were held in our home and once again were hurt. I tried to film it and my teenage daughter told her father he was being filmed.. She's so trauma bonded that she didn't care if her own mother was trying to protect the family from the monster in our home. He knows the police due to his involvement at the church but no one knows what goes on behind our doors. He tells us that if we try to come against him he will end us. After so much pain, we can't help but believe him. Please pray if you pray. Don't judge me because if you knew how much I've reached out only to have him narcissist his way out of being held accountable you would be here still trying to protect your children too.
