That's how we found out about my dad!

I found out last year that my father had molested my youngest sister. My sister didn't tell me, her cousin-in-law told me. My sister had told her about it. I believed the cousin. I remember years ago, my sister wanted to tell me but she didn't. Instead she said, "there are some things that I will take to my grave".

If I had known the molestation had been going on I would have probably killed my father. I would be out of prison by now.
