In the summer, my 5 year old son disclosed to me that his step father was sexually abusing him. His mother threw a fit and they both denied that it ever took place. He has been seeing a counselor for a year and a half because his mother has serious behavior problems with him. Now I find out after we filed a case with the Department of Child Services and have a trial date, that she has been taking him to the counselor and he has been telling him that I am the one who sexually abuses him. DCS has set up home based therapy at our house to help him cope and he has disclosed some disgusting details about his abuse from his step father that his therapist did not share because she said my wife and I need to be his strength and it would not be beneficial to know the details. It would only anger us. To me, it is not surprising that he’s telling his counselor that I am the one abusing because his mother is obviously trying to retaliate and he is going to do and say whatever she tells him to. They are planning to go to court and tell the Judge that it wasn’t step dad it was me and bring their counselor with them. Wouldn’t it be obvious to any Judge that this is retaliation? To me, knowing the mother, I’m not surprised at all because she’s never put him first. She uses him as a tool to get back at me. I feel like I am constantly trying to keep her from destroying his life.
