I have been gone for quite a while and this is the first thread I read. As a pastor, I have seen or heard a lot of stories like this and you never get used to it, nor should you. I am so thankful to God that you were able to step in and take care of those girls. You mentioned that their healing is going to take a while and that is true. I don't remember if you mentioned it, but if they are not in counseling, they need to be. If they are not and you don't know where to begin, check with your pastor or srs and they will point you in the right direction. God bless you for all that you have done, are doing and will do for those girls.
