I was watching this reality show about the guy who lived in with someone after his wife died because of childbirth..The woman didn't know he had a child and the guy gave the child to his sister or was it mother and she took care of the girl for 10 years.. But then the guy took the child again since the woman couldn't bear children , but instead of loving the child as her own she maltreated her from the moment she came and only treated her nicely if the father was there. The girl was really nice and humble- she didn't want to ruin the relationship of her father and the stepmom so she kept quiet until the stepmom burnt her chest with a heated wood. Now they reconciled, I just hope the the stepmom wuld stat treating her well.

I think I have seen it also on TV the other day. I feel sorry for the girl too. We knew that some children are really abused either by parents, relatives or by their employers but this is the first time I've heard a Stepmother hurts the girl because she was jealous by the attention her husband is giving to the girl. Why is that, the girl is her own daughter. I find the girl too humble, she don't want the relationship of her father ruined by not telling him what is happening while he is away.
She asked for forgiveness and the girl had forgiven her stepmom. I just hope the stepmom do what she had promised.

I have a friend who's Father had a daughter before he got married to his second wife, and this child was always treated badly by her step mother. She would never let her take part in any of the family activities, and wouldn't let her call her younger children her siblings. She actually hit her on a number of occasions, and tried to use all of her savings for family holidays and things like that, which she was never invited on. This is completely out of order, and there is no way that a child should ever be allowed to live like this in the modern world.

I think the problem was that the stepmother could not bear children and she thought the reason was that she was not allowed to because she would be a bad mother and somehow it translated into her psyche. You see, there are two ways to deal with the problem, think that it was right for her not to have children because of a bad personality or think that her barrenness had nothing to do with her personality but some physical thing and act as if one can be a good mother in spite of barrenness or infertility, either first or second.
I think that the stepdaughter understood and that is the reason she forgave her. She could see the sorrow in her heart.

sounds like a bad fairy tale.. I hope it will end good, wonder what the aunt/granny who took care of this child first thinks or feels about it.

The step mother should get some help! This is a very disturbed individual. Child abuse takes a toll on a person and she could never give back what she took from this child. It takes a very big person to forgive, but it doesn't mean that the step mother is cured due to the child's forgiveness. Seriously, this child should stay away from this lady until she gets help and the child should also get some sort of help, in order to deal with what has been done with her. Truly a sad story.

A woman did that to a child? Highly disturbing that is. She was right on her part for not ruining the relationship between her father and stepmom, but tolerating such an abuse is out of bounds. Hope she'll treat the girl well or better if they put her into some hostel.

Oh my...what a ...*#@
I hope the child is doing well now and wish the father have come to know the dark secret.
The stepmom must be charged for what she has done- she's so *vil...:xx

That's a very disturbing story. And, it's sad that a lot of kids experience the same maltreatment from their stepmom/dad, or even by their own parents.

A really sad reality. I know that social workers have helped a number of abused children, but I'm pretty sure there are still more kids who are suffering from the same, but are not reported.
