André "how are you feeling", Tori "better, it's only been a few days but I feel way better now than I did before and when it first happened", André "I'm glad to hear that, I was becoming really worried", Tori "I'm fine babe, just a lot going on, especially with Averie having these nightmares because of the incident, and then on top of that the therapy hasn't been helping her as much. It just makes her worse and it makes her feel more uncomfortable", André "it'll get better", Tori "I hope so, because right now our baby is showering badly and I'm not sure I can handle that", André "neither can I but things happen. And most of all they happen for a reason, but is there anything else that could potentially help her", Tori "I don't know. I don't want to traumatize her even more, I just want it all to be over. For her not to be scared anymore, for her not to have these recurring nightmares about the whole thing", André "me too", Tori grabbed the baby out of the crib and started breastfeeding him, André "you're mom is here", Tori "tell her to come up", André "okay, I will. I'm gonna make dinner", Tori "okay, is Averie napping still", André "yeah", Tori "okay", André went to the kitchen to start making dinner, Laura entered the room. Laura "hey baby, I see you're laying with other babies".

Laura "how have you been feeling", Tori "mom I'm so out of it

Laura "how have you been feeling", Tori "mom I'm so out of it. I'm supposed to be a mom to two kids, and I'm badly fucking traumatized from being raped, mom he raped me in front of my fucking child, she saw the whole damn thing", Laura "baby", Tori "mom you don't understand. I was trying to enjoy the day with my daughter, and it turned into hell. I don't want to feel pain or numb when i have sex with my own husband because I'm badly traumatized. I look at myself differently now, I don't feel like I have any womanhood anymore", Laura "stop saying that Victoria. I get it, you are badly traumatized and affected by this experience but you can't put yourself down, and you can't do that to yourself. I need you to feel better about yourself, because you are better my love", Tori hugged her mom, Laura "I love you so much baby girl", Tori "I love you too mom", Laura "please don't tell me you're gonna be laying down all day", Tori "mom I've got a wicked headache, I have it all day, my daughter can't sleep without screaming throughout the entire night, she's been having bad nightmares, she won't even sleep in her own room", Laura "baby I'm so sorry. Have you or André thought about signing her up for therapy, maybe her talking to someone could help her", Tori "I don't think she's ready for that just yet, I think it's gonna put a load of stress on her, and she's just not ready for that", Laura "okay, I understand where you are coming from", Averie "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", she screamed completely so loud, she fell off of her bed and went into the corner of her room hugging her knees. Tori rushed to Averie's room, Tori "it's me, it's mommy baby", Averie was shaking, Averie "mommy", she cried hard. Tori picked her up, André "what happened", Tori "nightmare, this is just reoccurring and it's freaking me out. She's practically drenched in her own sweat, what are we supposed to do about this. She's terribly traumatized and I have no idea what do. Mommy's got you, mommy's got you baby girl, I've got you", André "do you want me to stay with you", Tori "I've got her, just go finish dinner", André "okay love", he said kissing her on the cheek before leaving the room. Tori laid on the bed with Averie, Averie was holding her really tight, she was attached to her mom a lot. Tori didn't want to move, Averie being traumatized freaked her out. Tori "just lay down, mommy's here", André "why's your shirt off", he chuckled. Tori "because she pretty much tugged on my shirt so much I took it off, the chest is out she's calm, that's all that matters to me", André "dinner is done", Tori "okay, thank you for cooking", André "no problem", he said sitting beside his wife, André "how are you doing, and give me an honest answer please", Tori "so traumatized, I am so out of it. I'm afraid of me freaking out or lashing out at you in the middle of intercourse and I don't want that to happen", André "even if that was to happen, I'm not gonna feel a certain type of way, babe you were raped, of course your gonna be traumatized, but if that's what you feel I need you to tell me, I need you to come to me and talk to me, I don't care if it makes you cry or it hurts to talk about, it better than holding it in", Tori "I love you so much", André "I love you too", Tori fell asleep, André covered both his wife and his daughter with the quilt and then left them in the room and went to do some cleaning around the house. JoJo had been out of town but she was coming back to visit Tori and she didn't know about the whole incident that happened to Tori. There was a knock on the door, André "hey", JoJo "hey", André "where's Ashley", JoJo "she's flying out in a few days, she's got an event", André "you are getting big", JoJo "yeah, at this point I want to just give birth already but I've got a bit of time still. You told me that when I came back that you had something to tell me", André "the other day Tori took Averie out for like a little mother daughter time, Tori was raped, some guy made her drive the car somewhere, he raped her and made Averie watch the whole thing", JoJo "tell me that's a lie, my baby sister was raped", André "yes. It happened, she's got bad bruising and tearing in her genital area", JoJo "that hurts, who would do that to her", André "Averie told the cops everything and gave them a description of the guy that did this. I don't know if she's up but you can go check on her but don't tell her I told you", JoJo "but what if she asks me", André "that's different", JoJo "okay", JoJo went to the room. Tori "you're back", JoJo "yeah", Tori "and you're getting big, do you know the gender of the baby yet", JoJo "no me and Ashley find out soon", Tori "did my husband, you're brother in law tell you what happened to me", JoJo "yeah, he did", Tori broke down in tears, Tori "the worse part is that my nine year old had to watch it happen and now she's traumatized", JoJo "baby look at me, you're alive, he may have hurt you but that doesn't matter. You have a husband who is trying to get you through this, may take a bit of time but it's gonna be OK. You've got me and I'm always gonna be there for you baby girl, you're my angel Tori, you literally saved my life, I'm so glad that I'm your big sister", the two of them hugged tightly, JoJo "now what's going on with my niece", Tori "because she saw the whole thing she's been waking up in the middle of the night so many times. She's been sleeping in our bed and she can't sleep in her own bed. She wakes up screaming, these blood gut wrenching screams coming from such a tiny human being. She's been clinging onto me and doesn't wanna let go of me, like I'm so fucking worried about my daughter, and what's gonna happen when she goes back to school and she can't handle being away from me", JoJo "did you try anything to help her", Tori "not really", JoJo "do you and André talk about her getting therapy", Tori "that's gonna be too traumatizing for her, that's not possible", in about two hours later, the four of them had dinner.

So hey y'all it's Tori's husband, a few days ago something happened. I don't think that my wife would want me to say this on the internet but I feel like I have to because if I don't my wife won't get justice and neither will my daughter. My wife was raped, and the guy that raped my wife forced my daughter to watch the whole thing and it was the most traumatized thing ever. Our daughter is struggling badly so if you know anything that can possibly hurt her we would really appreciate it. She's been screaming and waking up from her sleep, and Tori is just trying to heal from this whole thing. But she's doing better, Averie not so much she's been out of it, she's been really struggling so if you know how we can help our daughter, we will appreciate it. And for the both of them can you just send some prayers, love and support. -André 🤍

JoJo "hey Averie, come to the room with me and mommy, I wanna talk", Averie "okay", the three of them went to Averie's room, Tori "babe can you put Axel to bed", André "yeah, I got it", Tori, JoJo and Averie went to Averie's room. JoJo shut the door, Averie "am I in trouble", Tori "no baby, titi just wants to talk to you", Averie "about what", JoJo "about what happened after you and your mom left the nail salon", Averie started to freak out, her curled up into a ball and started crying, Averie "I don't wanna talk about that, please mommy. I don't want to", Tori "JoJo please, I can't force her to talk about this. I can't, please", JoJo "princess I get it you don't wanna talk about it, I know it's hard to talk about but what about it makes you freak out", Averie "I saw him hurt her, she cried, she screamed, she squealed, and I just stood there and didn't do anything. I could have stopped him from hurting her and I didn't. I watched him hurt my mom and I didn't do anything", JoJo "you feel this way because you blame yourself for what happened", Averie "I could have stopped him and I didn't", Averie ran out of her room, André "hey what's wrong", Averie "daddy", he picked her up and held her as she cried in his arms. André took her to the nursery, she stood in his lap, as he finished putting the baby to sleep. JoJo "you okay", Tori "no I'm not okay. She blames herself, she's nine years old and she blames herself for me being raped. Why does my poor baby feel like that, because what happened to me is definitely not her fault", JoJo "I know you don't like it, but maybe that's why she's struggling so bad, because she's pinning the blame on herself. Just be her mother, don't do anything more than that, tell her it's gonna be okay, and tell her that's it's not her fault", André "I need her bed, she's asleep", Tori "okay", she grabbed her from him and put her in bed covering her with the sheets. Tori "are you staying", JoJo "yeah of course I'm staying, I'm not going anywhere", Tori "guest room is yours", JoJo "thank you", JoJo showered and then headed to bed. André "is everything okay", he said as the two for them entered their room. Tori "so the reason that all of these panic attacks keep happening to Averie and her not being able to sleep in her own room is because she blames herself for what happened to me", André "she's a baby, how could a baby blame themselves", Tori "babe she said it herself, how she watched it and froze in horror and didn't do anything to help me. That's what she's feeling, the burden of not being able to stand up for me and help me, not being able to scare the guy away. She's feeling very much guilty", André "how do we get her to know that it's not her fault and tell her that things happen", Tori "I don't know but it's gonna take some time, it's not something to rush, but we are gonna get through this together", André "yeah", the two of them got in the shower, and then headed to bed right after.

How can Tori and André help their daughter realize that it wasn't her fault? ❤️
