I was married to a pediofile. When my daughter finally told me the truth that her father molested her from age 4 to 17, I felt guilt and shame. I was a disfunctional Mother. All the terrible pain and suffering I caused my daughter. I didn't protect her. My consequences are so great. She wants nothing of me for close to 10 years. I am Saved but I can't forgive myself for what I did to her. Why?

Melanie why do you feel guilty why did the others tell you to ask to be forgiven Your grieved for the evil that happened to your daughter by your husband but what did you do wrong Men who do this evil make sure they won't be seen like my Mothers Father but I never blamed Mum for the evil he did you could not be with her every minute of the day Forgive her and your husband and you will have Peace.

God is slow to anger, if you asked for forgiveness then you are forgiven, you must try to forgive yourself, the greatest commandment is Love thy god with all your heart, with all your mind and with all your soul, the second greatest commandment is to love thy neighbor . God is love and Love is God : , today you shall be with me in paradise, Jesus told the man on the cross he was forgiven, love:

When I got the courage to tell my Mother at 15 that her Father had Molested me at 10 she called me a Sl.t and said it was my fault I wish she had Compassion like you but she must have felt guiltly too. This evil happens a lot, you didnt know or let it happen so you don't need to feel guilty Write to your Daughter and tell her you Love her and understand and will help her. I'm Praying for you both.

Melanie I assume you asked God for forgiveness and He has forgiven you. He doesn't want you in that kind of bondage. I know this is a terrible terrible thing that has happened to your daughter. Surely she must realize you were unaware of the actions? I pray for healing and reconcilation and God's grace be seen in your relationship with your daughter. Eph 3:20 21
