Six – Mike's entry
Dear Diary,
Its heart wrenching when you realise a child has been sexually abused. Especially if they don't realise it themselves. Skye, when she finally came out of hiding, looked so confused and sad when she told us she thought it had something to do with daddy. It's even more upsetting when you realise she's going to have a medical examination and lots of grown up questions thrown at he to see what she knows. She's nine for goodness sake and her father was abusing her. Rhydian said he always wondered if something was going on but was never certain and Skye had never seemed bothered by it before.
And it gets worse because the older kids, the ones she is close too, Tee and Rick mostly they need to know so they don't touch her and make her run. How I'm going to tell those two my suspicions I don't know. They both think the world of her.
The front door has opened, I suppose I had better go tell everyone to be mindful of Skye when she gets back from the cremation. Poor girl. It isn't her day,
Mike
