“HE ALMOST MURDERED YOUR DAUGHTER ISN’T HER LIFE MORE IMPORTANT THEN BEING WITH THIS MAN??? ”
It his child too I’m sure that he never ment to hurt her. From this story what he did wasn’t nearly as bad as what your sons father did but it doesnt change the fact the they both are still the fathers.

I’m sure the hurt is nothing compared to the pain and damage, caused by her husband,to a poor defenseless baby…Bottom line is that there is no excuse that can justify attacking someone so small and innocent. He lied and said the day went well…he thought he got away with it just because the child couldn’t talk…that is dishonorable and disgusting.

Based on your theory…that same book says an eye for an eye. It is full of contradictions. She is a mother. Her job is to protect the child she was blessed with. That so called MAN is a fully grown adult and should have none better. He was/is selfish to the point that it has caused this child permanent damage. All because his “tender, precious” ears couldn’t take the crying…come on. It’s pathetic. Her concerns and priorities are misplaced. Your brothers and sisters have the right idea….I hope those kids will be okay.

I’m shocked at the hurtful comments those outside of your situation freely dump on you, as if their opinion is at all important. You are incredible! Your children will in the future, thank you for being stronger than your accusers. The system should be readjusted or targeted to address each case individually, but funding keeps them from being remotely effective. No doubt was this difficult on everyone involved, its sad that those getting paid to help you, do more damage than good. I don’t condone your husbands behavior, but living with his guilt Im sure is far more painful than anything the justice system could throw his way. So glad to see a woman go against the grain and fight for her family. Wish we had more of you.
Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your story. My grandson was shaken by his father when he was 2 months old. He suffered from seisures and has been dianosed as being legally blind. He now is 11 months old and is such a sweet child. His life was spared by God and we are blessed daily by his life. Forgiveness for his father was hard, but needed. Your story is the only one I can find that gives us hope for the family to live together some day.

I was thinking all sorts of horrible things just now… (most im sure you’ve already heard) when i read the decision you made to stay with your husband… then i read the last paragraph, that said when you see the love your little girls when they look at their daddy… you did make the right decision. it has nothing to do with “your wants and needs” because i know how i would feel if my husband had done the same… i wouldnt want or need him ANYWHERE near me or my children. you were think of the wants and needs of the girls when you made this decision to stay a family. im sure he has enough guilt to where he doesnt need to feel anymore especially from anything that i could say so im not gunna comment on how horrible what he did is… all that matters is that hes sorry and never meant to hurt his little girl… and when you finally tell them both what happened (most importantly “Erin”) tough she may feel betrayed and hurt im sure in time she will accept her fathers apology and their bond will grow from it…. This is an amazing story about how everyone makes mistakes… some however do learn from them… and how love and forgivness can keep a family together through great tragedy. i loved the last paragraph in this story. you are a stong woman and a wonderful mother. none of this was your fault… as far as your brother and sister and whoever else doesnt agree with the decision youve made, you cant really blame them, but hopifully someday they weigh it out and hopifully being a part of not only your life but your childrens lifes will outweigh the grudge they are despretely holding onto and they finally let go of the hate in their hearts. god bless you and your family i wish you all the best in life.
with love,
leah
