😯 Returning from my mission abroad, I discovered my daughter sleeping in the barn. I was furious to learn that my wife had punished her in this way for her disobedience, and here’s what I did.
My first wife had passed away when our daughter was ten. A year later, I remarried Alice, a very kind woman. She got along well with my daughter.
During my last mission abroad, I was away for two months, but I wasn’t worried because I knew Alice would take good care of my daughter.
When I came home late at night, exhausted, I was only thinking about sleep. However, before heading to my room, I decided to check on my daughter and kiss her while she was sleeping because I had missed her a lot.
When I opened the door to her room, I was surprised not to find her in her bed. At first, I thought she might be in our room with Alice. But when I entered our room, I found Alice still awake, and my daughter was not there.
When Alice saw me, she became nervous and agitated. She didn’t know I was coming back that night. When I asked where my daughter was, she told me she had stayed at a friend’s house. That’s when I had a bad feeling.
Then, I noticed the light in the barn was on. I went over to turn it off and discovered my daughter sleeping on the floor, near the pigs.
I was shocked and angry when she explained that Alice had forced her to sleep in the barn for the past two weeks due to her disobedience. I was furious, and here’s what I did.
The rest of the story is in the article in the first comment 👇👇👇.
When I confronted Alice, she tried to defend herself by calling my daughter a “difficult child” and saying she “needed discipline.”
Then, I discovered marks on my daughter’s back, and I immediately contacted the police.
Alice’s trial resulted in a conviction for child abuse, with a sentence of eight years in prison.
However, despite justice, the wounds remained.
My daughter was traumatized, reacting to every loud noise and often waking up in tears.
Several months later, we moved to a small town.
I left the army and found a job as a mechanic.
Slowly, my daughter began to regain some stability.
