Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from two to five PM Eastern time on serious XM.

Triumph 111 Amy. Welcome to the program. Hello Dr. More. Thank you for talking with me today. Thank you.

I'm sorry. I am calling. I was just seeing if maybe you could give me some advice on what I should do.

I've had a bad past and I have children of my own now and I'm just I'm trying to do the best thing for them.

I feel like I have too many details to go into. I think you better start going into the details so I'll know what's going on.

When I was younger, I was sexually abused on my dad, my stepdad and what triggered all this calling today is I get so upset because my kids love him so much and I'm so uncomfortable around him.

I don't think you should be spending any time with somebody who sexually molested you nor do I think it's reasonable that you ever exposed your children to somebody who is a child molester.

I know I was afraid of that. You would see that. But you risk but you risk to your kids anyway.

I know I go through times where I don't think about it and then sometimes it just comes up and then I think about it and then I wonder why my family don't none of my other family seem to think about it or everybody just acts as like it never happened and I'm guilty of that myself.

I guess I can ask you a few things please. Have you ever heard of the word denial?

Yeah.

And what does it mean?

No, no one of something and then believe it wasn't true. No. Try again. Not one seems to believe it.

Yes. Now why would your family not want to deal with this? Why would a mother not really want to deal with this? Tell me.

I can't really tell you what I think.

I'm asking you a question. Just please try to answer it and stay silent till you have an answer. Why would a mother want to deny this?

I'm thinking so she didn't feel bad or about being a so wrong person and not being able to protect her child.

That's good. Also be embarrassing when it went public and he went to jail. Also she'd have to divorce him and that would be difficult. What would she live on and who would she live with and she'd be all alone.

So it's easier just to screw you over.

Can I tell you what she told me? Of course she.

She said she didn't leave because she was worried about the other children.

I'm from her first marriage and he has a daughter from his first marriage and ultimately she stayed because she didn't know what would happen to my older sister.
