Imagine the nightmare of having your own father rape you at age 11, and continue to have sex with you for the next thirty one years of your life, fathering seven children. Imagine your own father creamating one of your newborns, who died after birth, in the furnace you and other people in the building rely upon for heat. Imagine knowing that three of your children are being raised by your mother, who has no idea where you are, does not know who the father of these children is, and who thinks you have abandoned the children for her to raise. Imagine living less than fifty feet away from your mother for years and never being able to speak to her. Imagine only seeing your father, your rapist, and later on your children.

What does that do to your mind? What does that do to the minds of the children, to see their father, their grandfather, assault their mother whenever he felt like it?

Other bloggers have pointed out that Amstetten was the site, during the Nazi occupation, of an all women's prison camp, and have suggested in a rather fanciful way, that the town has become poisoned due to it's prolonged exposure to evil. It's rather possible, I think.

Likeliest: evil lurks in the heart of all mankind. It is only the weak that give in to the evil.

Keep this woman and her children in your thoughts. They most certainly will need all the help they can get.
