	Thyna's Wanderings If you know what a kender is, you will understand. If not, this is going to be a collection of random stuff depending on how I feel, the events of the day, web sites, personal interests, trinkets, collectables and stuff from my pockets :)

	Dr. Phil: Saving Grace
	Dr. Phil: Saving Grace


Yesterday, I was watching Dr. Phil. Something I don't normally do, but the subject matter involved something I am very familiar with and I was hoping I might get something from it to help my situation. Grace is a little girl who was molested by her grandfather. She was only 6 years old. She told Grandma, but Grandma denied it believing it had been an accident. Grace then went to tell her parents. Dad was in shock, and Mom had the smarts to press charges. It's been 2 years since. The parents of Grace broke off contact with the grandparents. Grandpa still denies that he did anything wrong claiming he was posessed, didn't know it was illegal even though he served 8 months of jail time, but admited that what the little girl discribed was accurate. Grandma still thinks there was some mistake. Both want to get their family back together and see Grace again. Mom and Dad don't know if they want this to happen. During the show they were able to watch Dr. Phil interview the grandparents, and don't think the grandparents are ready to see Grace. However, from what Dr. Phil has said about the little girl, she wants to see Grandma, and get some kind of closure from this mess. The interviews with Grace are on Next weeks show. (bummer) I was so upset watching this show. Mostly because I was seeing what was going on in my family. Grandpa denies what he did, Grandma ignores it, and my parents, aunts and uncles hide it. Then there is me who wishes that I could just disown the bunch of them, but find it hard to do so because "they are my family", and my aunts are survivors as much as I am. Now that Grandpa is sick, Mom suggested that we kids should go visit him. Ummm sorry Mom. But the only thing Grandpa is getting from me is a letter saying that I remember what he did and this is my final contact with him. Thyna · Tue Apr 10, 2007 @ 04:11pm · 0 Comments
