Many of the events Shaela spoke of in her letters to my family contained events that I personally remember. Except her versions were twisted and made to sound much worse. And by events, I mean arguments that we had from time to time (every family has their arguments from time to time). This....This is why I believe that Shaela is lying about being abused. My family is so tight knit, 7 children. The evidence would have been so obvious early on if she really was abused. Not only that but she didn't confide in anyone about anything about any abuse! Not her sisters whom she was extremely close to, not her friends? All of my siblings tell each other everything, we're just that close!
My mother is far from a bitch...She's my best friend and one of the most wonderful people I have in my life. My dad is a hard worker and a role model. He would do anything to make sure we are all safe and have a roof over our heads and food in our bellies. Shaela is so far gone.

Thank you everyone with your kind comments. We really are trying to figure out the best route to go with this...This is why we are taking steps to expose Mark and Cathy. If anything, maybe it will make Shaela question them. That is, of course, if she is even able to see this stuff. We are unsure what she has access to when it comes to her E-mail/threads and what not.
Thank you,
