I have only had time to skim through this, so please pardon me if I am out of line or get details wrong. I want you to know I support you, even if I don't have time at this moment to be thorough in my reading.

MS rears it's ugly head on and off. Please don't judge her abilities by what she is capable of at this particular moment. She may me completely incapable sometimes of any real movement and completely capable at other moments.

Victims of abuse will protect their victimizer for many reasons. Please find a way to support her while pushing her to be honest with you and herself. Sometimes reality is just too hard to face - it's not that she is being "bad", she just may not be able to face the complete truth.

All that being said, I hope that he will face severe charges, and the children will be protected from any harm, no matter who is doing the harm. They are truely the innocents.

I will pray long and hard for everyone. My heart and thoughts are with you and yours.
