Well it's been almost 1 1/2 months and I finally have some good news on this. MY DAUGHTERS HAVE BEEN FOUND!!! They are safe and home, but this is merely the good news.
It seems as though there has been alot of crap that has been fed by the man who really started this whole mess. Just because he wanted to have a couple daughters.
The assault on my oldest is true as well as alot of the other items originally posted in this thread in the initial post. For that, their mother and stepdad have to jump through a ton of hoops from the department of childrens and families. Doesn't really hurt my feeling 1 bit. They need help as I mentioned before and now they are being made to get it. This is a good thing.
The downside to all of this is it plays like almost evey bad domestic violence scene I have ever seen. Both in movies as well as inn real life.
Mom: Please come back and stay with me. We've changed I promise.
Kids: Really?
Mom: yes and I am going to anger management and everything.
Kids: oh thats good then.
Mom: Stepdad's been nicer too:Kids Well then I will give you the chance then.
Sickening really.
My daughters that ran are at the age they can make the decision as to which parent they can stay with, and again they chose abusers. A cycle I truly very scared of and can see continuing for a very long time.
I guess I should take solace in the fact that they are home and safe. I really should. But I just don't feel good about any of this. other than they are home again.
I digress........
It seems as though the man I thought was my friend took my daughters to Tennessee across 2 state lines just to keep the girls for himself. Jeopardizing the futures worrying their mother and I sick. Lying to everyone including law enforcement and 1 judge that he didn't know where they were. etc. etc. I do know he is face 3rd degree felony charges of harboring runaways, aiding and abedding, transporting minors acrosss state lines without parental consent. and even possibly Sexual assault on a minor. Lord knows I hope that last one isn't true.
While the deputies get all their ducks in order, he is still free, and is constantly texting myself and their mother trying to get whatever information he can. We are refusing to answer he requests. Just watching bury himself deeper and deeper.
I know this isn't over yet, but, at the very least they are home and safe.

Just when I thought the hard part is over.
There are more and uglier twist that have happened almost everyday since my girls have made it home safely. I am more than reasonably certain now that:
a) they didn't actually run away but rather was taken away and hidden.
b) they didn't quite know what was going on. Not saying they weren't made aware, but instead convinced that forcing them to stay hidden was a better answer than being with their parents.
Now we add a new twist or 2. And yes it's ugly.
The man (I am really using that word in as loose a sense as possible) has sexual molested my 16 year old daughter. This has been going on since she was 15. There was even an attempt by him with my 17 year old, at an younger age as well. She was a little smarter than that.
Add to it further, last night he attempted suicide. Taking sleeping pills and pain medications way to excess. The last word I have is he is still in ICU and will remain there for a little while.
Yet......
I can just see this now. Almost like a ploy on his behalf. Attempt suicide, show you are mentally unstable to stand trial, and spend the remaining days in a mental ward instead of jail.
I am a Christian man. I live for Christ. I am taught to forgive, love, and pray, and yet I can't let this go. I get all the information from this case through a woman known to lie about whether the sun is up or not. let alone important issues. The local sheriff's office won't even speak to me about my own daughters and have actual suggested I may be in some cooperation with the man who literally took my kids. I am being made to stay in the dark about everything and I did nothing wrong.
I am hurting really bad today.........
Well here it is October. On the 19th I get to go to the next court date. This time it is against the man who did the kidnapping in the first place. While I haven't been made completely aware of what is going on, I will be present for my daughters sake.
I have let my true anger go finally over this. I have forgiven and put the entire matter into God's hands. It is where it needs to be now anyway, for if it were in my hands I am not sure where I would stop at and that would not truly be fair to my children.
Their mother is trying to change, while still being trying at the same time. She knows now she can't push me around any longer. She can't hold my children against me. So for this I am happy, but I have watched her literally throw one of the largest dumbest meanest guilt trips on my oldest, right in front of me, just so she would stay home. Shortly there afterwords, she received a visit from my local neighborhood DCF worker to inform her that she can't ever do that again, unless she really wants to lose her kids.
I digress.....
The court date is Monday. I hope this issue ends soon. Very very soon. and he gets the just punishment he deserves.
Lets see if he like having his family yank from him!
