Hi,

I'm Janis, a mother of 3 boys and have a little girl on the way. My oldest son, Christopher, now 5 was sexually abused by my brother. My brother is in prison, but his actions have forever left an imprint on my family.

Hi Janis! Sorry I didn't see your post earlier. Wow - you must be busy with 4 little ones!!! Sorry to hear about your 5 year old! I'm sure you are giving him all the love and safety he needs to have a normal childhood.

My daughter was actually stillborn, which has added grief to our anxiety.

Janis - I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter! It sounds corny - but God knows how strong you are & you will get stronger everyday! Is your oldest in counseling? Karate or any self defense - teaching him that no one can ever hurt him again - was the best thing for my oldest!
