So sorry for your loss.  Truly!  I have been in the same circumstance.  At 43 I finally confessed to God that I did not know Him because no loving father would leave a child in such anguish if they were capable of ending it.  Unbelievable, instantaneous, irreversible healing occurred the instant I let go of the notion that I knew God.  Now I have let Him reveal Himself to me in His gracious, honorable way.  Such peace and joy I never knew existed.  Child abuse is so devastating, but I know this woman well and I do not believe it.  There is many troubling facts that went unreported and many distortions.  My original comment was that I hope the investigators got it right.  As for the fact that she plead guilty, well...  If i was accused of robbing a bank and they looked into my past and found out that when I was 14 I stole a ring from the neighbor lady and got a spanking... so therefor I would not be held guiltess before a jury so I could serve 10 years as opposed to 25???
