Poor Ronnie why dont they believe her

I thought Glenda did but didn't want to admit it.. but Peggy said she would have known if is was her but she didn't notice when Stella was doing it to Ben right under her nose

How the hell could Peggy tell Ronnie get out Roxy is the owner

I think Glenda knew about it

Glenda had a look on her face as if she knew already or he had done something like this before or even did it to her and she doesn't want to admit it...

Maybe she was raped by him also and thats why she left

Good thinking. He's raped twice that we know about, so it's likely that he would do so to his own wife.

Can Ronnie ever forgive Roxy and Peggy for not believing her? They don't want to face up to the kind of man they loved.

Lucas has absolutely no empathy for the children's grief. I thought he would at least act caring, even if he doesn't feel it. He's too busy blaming Denise for "losing her way".

I really thought Roxy would have taken longer than that to come round! She went from being in complete denial to believing her in like 5 minutes. I think Roxy did know it deep down though all along, all the evidence is there. She knows the stuff about Stacey too. Im glad Danielle was Joel's, but I really dont see how she would know for her sure, and its quite confusing. Ronnie got pregnant when she was 14, and according to the story Archie was attacking her when she was 13. If that was going on why would you be ready to start up a relationship with another boy. If you were being subjected to that? Kinda weird.

Maybe Ronnie was looking for love and affection because she did not get any at home and that is why she had the relationship with Joel.

Roxy turnaround wasn't a surprise.. I think when Ronnie said that she went into her room everynight to protect her that Roxy knew what she said was true. Ronnie protected Roxy from all this and I am glad Roxy believed her. The scar on her chin was also a break through.
I am glad too that Danielle was Joel's and as for starting a relationship with him, her dad told her she was a cheap whore, maybe she just associate sex with love and felt it was the only way to feel loved by anyone. if you are constantly been told that you are nothing more than sex then you will probably start to believe it. She also acted out too. Remember she said she hit Roxy so that she wouldn't have to be in the house alone with her dad...

Remember too that she's actually known about the rape for months, even though it hasn't been discussed until now. Roxy must have been thinking about it, so's had time to digest it. Her immediate reaction when Ronnie mentioned it again was denial, but it wasn't a new idea to her. I'm glad she came around 'cos Ronnie really needs her support.

I think we are talking about INCEST...here is a site that pretty well defines the whole sad thing: http://www.ncvc.org/ncvc/main.aspx?d...cumentID=32360
