onLeave a Comment on Over the past few months, I noticed that my husband had become strangely close to our 12-year-old daughter. She had even begun to accompany her to the bathroom and lock the door from the inside. One day I found my daughter lying on the bed, pale and exhausted. There were little blood stains on their sheets. But when the next night I secretly walked up to the closed door and heard my husband’s words, I was paralyzed with horror... 
Sometimes what seems like a scary secret is actually a scared girl who doesn’t know how to ask for help and a father who makes the mistake of trying to protect everyone on his own.
But from that day, as a family, we made a promise.
As painful as the truth was, we would never hide it from each other again.
