3 year olds love to tell stories. Mine had so many stories at that age. I finally told her she knew what was true and she knew what was a made up or pretend story. When she told me something that I found hard to believe I would ask her is that a real story or is that a pretend story. She always replied which was which. When it was a pretend story I always told her it was a very good story. Your grandaughter has made up a pretend story. Your daughter was angry with you and asked her all kinds of questions until this story has become more and more involved when she answered questions. If you believe her imagination is on overload and this is a pretend story before you say anything to your better half the next time you talk to your daughter or grandaughter on the phone ask her if she is telling a pretend story or say that is a really good pretend story and laugh it off and say what a wonderful imagination you have you are so smart.
I know a similar story. This was a little girl with her brother. The parents were very responsible and looked for professional help immediately and it fired them back. The professionals had to call CPS. They said is the law. All I know is that it took few years for them to solve that problem and both kids went to extensive counseling.
I think you really need to talk to your better have because this is a gigantic load you're taking on your shoulders. It is very hard but the 2 of you together can carry this load much better. You have to be strong and support each other.
Like other people said you have to find out if she knows the difference between a real story and a make believe story. It sounds to me like a made up story, you are in jail with her sister, monsters came out, the add ons...........hum...............
I wish you luck, God bless you
PS. Is she talking about it all the time? Have parents noticed any changes in behavior (like aggressive, lethargic, moody, spacey, sadness, can't concentrate, nightmares)? These are real signs of abuse
I did tell my better half could not take it no more, and as i expected he flipped! he bought up questions to ask my Daughter, and as of now we are not speaking again {my Daughter and I} she does not want to deal with this no more,and feels she did him a favor by dropping it, We feel if it was not so serious or the child being led,then it should of never maybe been mentioned, If the Hospital closed the door on it, maybe My Daughter should have too?
I did however ask her to please take the baby to someone {Therepist etc} and lets get some expert advice here, this is serious, cause it wrecked a persons life,and he feels he is labled for the future of people that may know.
I will never know if she took the baby to someone? and both of us are sick over this everyday.I guess good advice to everyone,is never have yourself in this position, where you could get blamed,and I know if this was my Daughter saying this when she was 3, I would of had her somewhere, not just drop it.....
