Omg this is horrific! You poor Mumma. I feel so sad for your little. What an evil monster. You are doing amazing supporting her and reaching out. Ask your dr for a referal and see a psychologist. For both of you. I hope he gets what he deserves in prison. Stay strong for your little girl and keep doing what you are doing. Fight this all the way with her.
My exhusband sexually assaulted my daughter over a couple of years and took pornographic images of her and sent them through to an undercover cop. He had sent it other places too, the fact is it's probably still out there somewhere. This was discovered 10 years ago. I won't lie, it just about killed me, and it occasionally still haunts both me and my daughter. We will never be the same. You do get through this but it takes time. While you're doing what you can to help your daughter please take care of yourself too in whatever way that works for you. If you don't like talking about it, maybe art, music, dance, any form of expression could also be an outlet. You do get through it but it takes time.
