I have 3 kids a daughter 14 and 2 sons 4 & 5. My daughter disclosed her abuse by my nephew last January. I'm still worried about the boys and if anything happened to them. My 5 year old is scared of the dark and starting to be scared of going to the bathroom alone. My 4 year old was a very late potty trainer and has nightmares. I have talked to them about touching and they have denied anything happening. Today I asked my 5 year old if anyone had ever touched him and he said no. But then he started talking about a secret he had about something he was going to do. No matter what I said he wouldnt tell me even when I said I wouldnt be mad or tell anyone. If I pushed the issue he would get upset and say I cant tell you. I know he is a 5 year old and Im an overprotective parent but I dread hearing that word secret. Im afraid to know if something happened to them like I wouldnt be able to handle it again. What do you guys think I should do?
