My deceased brother-in-law molested his two teenage daughters for years.
From 11 thru the age of 14, when the youngest finally had enough and wrote a letter to mom.
My niece spilled the beans and threatened to run away to live with a relative far away.
Oh, and she threatened to tell the world about what old dad had been going to his little girls.
This younger daughter, victim number two, claimed her mom knew all along what was happening but looked the other way.
Went into denial. See no evil, hear no evil.
The oldest daughter, victim number one, seemed to be just fine with the sexual relationship between daughter and old dad.
Even after the oldest was all grown up and had moved out, father and daughter still had these secret rendezvous.
When the letter broke, old dad admitted everything accused of to his wife, my sister.
Then, sister and brother-in-law went into therapy and separated for months with living apart.
Then one day, old dad claimed he had found religion, was forgiven, and husband and wife moved back in together.
After that all seemed well, and most of the relatives outside the immediate family never were told nor did they ever find out.
My mother was never told. She held her son-in-law to the highest and would have been crushed if truth got out.
But still, there was that odd relationship between the oldest daughter and father to the day he suddenly died from a heart attack.
Frankly..... my brother-in-law could have spent the rest of his natural life in prison. He was damn lucky.....
Looking back, everything seemed to start going ""weird"" after my brother-in-laws father had suddenly died.
His father was an alcoholic and a mean alcoholic.
He abused the kids, had once shot the dog in the head in the living room in front of everyone after the dog messed on the carpet, and his father would disappear for weeks in a drunken stupor only to turn up in some small town jail miles away.
My brother-in-law was never a drinker at all unlike his dad, but did inherit the meanness and a love for killing things with his gun.
Neighborhood cats and dogs often mysteriously disappeared.
But still he claimed he was ok after finding religion and forgiveness.
And that brings me to FATHER BOB, a catholic priest that befriended my brother-in-law when in therapy.
They would spend many hours together.
And once we dropped in unexpected to visit at the house, they were both sitting on the couch in their underwear.
Father Bob and my brother-in-law.
No one ever bothered explaining THAT. And my sister, the wife, never seemed to question it. Or question anything.....
I was like... WTF? Alone, in the house, Father Bob and my brother-in-law, both in only their tidy whitey underwear?
Oh by the way, it was not a pretty sight. An abundance of belly fat and gray chest hair.
You'd think they would have at least locked the doors if no one else was at home and someone just may suddenly drop in unexpectedly. Weird to say the least. VERY WEIRD!
Also, after my brother-in-laws alcoholic dad died and all the weirdness began, my brother-in-law became quite a hoarder.
With a HUGE three-bay garage full to the rafters with JUNK.
He even brought home a broken wheel chair one day.
My sister asked him "what the hell are you doing with THAT?", and he said, "I might be able to use the wheels for something."
He never did use the wheels, and it became part of the massive mess stuffed into his garage.
He had eight broken lawnmowers he claimed he could fix up, but never did.
He hoarded every power tool you could ever imagine, several times over, none of which were working.
Discarded carpet, rotting roofing, bent house siding, you name it he hoarded it.
Can you imagine what my sister, his wife, went thru after he passed away. Sis was forced to hire an auctioneer to sell and give away the junk. Mostly, give away. Then she sold the house and moved into a mobile home court.
Getting back to that father-daughter molestation-ship, something seems to trigger it.
Usually a very dysfunctional father-son relationship. Donald Trump certainly had that dysfunctional father-son relationship.
And oddly enough, alcohol doesn't seen to figure in with the inherited dysfunctionally of the son.
That tendency would also fit with Donald Trump.
Certainly sober, a teetotaler as it were, yet mean, violent, and abusive to others especially to his own children.
But like my niece, my brother-in-laws oldest daughter, i.e. victim number one, maybe daughter Ivanka likes the daddy sex too?
If people only knew the truth behind the charade of this Trump family. if they only knew.....
