That really is one horrific story. I can honestly see why your father would have been extremely low when he crawled in bed accidentally with the teenager; that would make me sick if it ever happened to me. As a typical single male I look at well kept women on the street as I drive by and every now and again I'm sickened to realize I just craned my neck to look at a kid instead of what I thought was an adult.

It's terrible that your father has experienced what he has but these days you simply can't be too careful and I think that's ultimately why your father was taken into custody. I do find it odd however that he would be held on such a high bond given the fact he was proven not to be a danger to children.

The truly sad part is that this is a tough enough time for your family without the added drama of a sister spinning tails of woe and forbidding d00m. That's just ridiculous and it does nothing but make a difficult situation even worse.

I really wish I could give you some insight but I'm just not the person to give advice of this nature. The only thing I can say is opening the doors of communication through the family may help but then again that isn't a lock given the emotion involved either.

I know they say that time heals all wounds but if things aren't dealt with wounds heal but become scars that we carry forever. I do believe that it may be prudent to discuss this openly with everyone involved sooner than later. It may also be a good idea to talk to one person at a time and find common ground in doing so. I believe alliances help in any situation so the more allies you can make the easier the overall issue may be to deal with.

Again I'm no expert and I'm very sorry for what's happening in your family. I do hope that everyone comes to their senses and realizes this is nothing more than an accident because anything else will only see your families ripped apart.
