tragic loss of his wife Joey Fe it seemed the family had finally found a happy ending but just Weeks Later Rory's two adult daughters began telling a different story in a new interview with people Heidi Fe reveals that she and her sister Hopi are considering legal action against their father whom the claim has cut them off from contacting their youngest sister Indiana 10 and put her In Harm's Way while Rory claims that the situation is a family dispute that's been blown out of proportion this is a devastating change for her because we've been in her life since the day she was born says Heidi she's even come to stay with us once a month for most of her life Rory meanwhile wrote in a blog post titled love Dad and shared on Saturday August 31st that his eldest daughter's claims have broken my heart and that Indiana has never been more loved or better cared for than she is right now Rory 59 found success with second wife Joey as the duo Joey plus Rory and in 2014 they welcomed daughter Indiana Indie Boon when Joey died of cancer in 2016 at age 40 Heidi 37 and Hy 35 developed a special maternal bond with Indie who has special needs according to a GoFundMe page over the years Indie was featured regularly on Heidi's Instagram as they spent quality time together during visits to Heidi's home in Alabama when Hy got married in 2018 Indie even served as a flower girl Heidi tells people about 3 years ago however things changed suddenly she says they were no longer allowed to FaceTime with Indie which was how we stayed connected with her still Rory had recently claimed to have a switch to a flip phone so she says the sisters weren't alarm at first then Heidi says that she and Hopi were no longer able to send pictures or videos to their younger sister we supported his decision because we could still talk to her on the phone and she continued to visit us in Alabama says Heidi but things got concerning when Rory began canceling her visits to Alabama without rescheduling eventually he said she wasn't allowed to do overnight visits anymore with no explanation after that we were only allowed to see her three times her 10th birthday one dinner and the homestead Festival in June when we saw her last now he doesn't let us talk to her on the phone and won't respond to my texts Rory admitted in his blog post at Indie absolutely misses her sisters and asks about them all the time and would love to see them he said that while his youngest is allowed to speak to Heidi and hopei at any time he confirmed she is no longer allowed to spend the night with him the singer wrote that he stopped letting Indie sleep over because they refused to respect my wishes when she was there in the post Rory said that he and Heidi's differing worldviews is the Crux of their disagreement as Heidi and Hy have different ideas of entertainment that they want to expose Indie to but Indiana is my daughter and I know what Joey would want and I am standing firmly on not compromising the values and principles that are important to me to raise Indie with he wrote I tell her that hopefully soon we'll all be back together and she'll get to talk to and see them again I do look forward to that day almost as much as Indie does in recent months Heidi says she's grown increasingly concerned for Indy's safety after an incident in which the child was allegedly left unsupervised she wandered into traffic on Highway 431 terrified and lost until a stranger found her and brought her home says Heidi instead of addressing the danger she was in my dad used this traumatic incident to create content that boosted his Public Image in an article published in the monthly magazine playing values in May Rory discusses the incident writing that he quickly searched for Indie as soon as he realized she was missing and was relieved when she arrived back home in the passenger seat of a stranger's car with tears in my eyes I just held her tight so thankful that she was okay he wrote meanwhile Heidi has also expressed concerns over Indie be left in the care of a group as she wrote in an Instagram post on August 29th Taste of Country which first reported the story identified the group as Homestead Heritage which calls itself an agrarian and craft-based intentional Christian Community and interviewed multiple people with ties to the group a lengthy report published in the Texas obser in 2012 alleged years of abuse within the community including the sexual assault of children in a statement shared to its website Homestead Heritage called the media reports slanderous and said some people were attempting to exploit the public media as a tool to further their own agendas the false accusations even include the allegation that we tolerate and cover up sexual abuse of minors the statement said adding in every case of abuse we've ever countered it was our ministry that exposed and reported the crime Heidi says that Indie was left in the care of homestead's Montana Branch while Rory and his new wife Rebecca went on their honeymoon in his blog post Rory said that while on his honeymoon Indie was left with two families who both have children she is close with and that she had a nice time I am not a perfect father but I'm also not an idiot he wrote Rory also denied that Homestead was a cult and admitted that while every organization has bad apples he has only had positive experiences with the group Homestead did not immediately respond to people's request for comment for Heidi Rory's actions Echo Trauma from her childhood she says that she and Hy were told that their mother did not want to be in their lives and say they only learned recently that this was not the truth when we started getting cut off from Indie I couldn't shake the feeling that this had all happened before she says that's when I found my mom and called her she had always wanted to be part of our lives and had been waiting my whole life to share her story with me now I realize it's my duty to make sure history doesn't repeat itself in his blog post Rory denied Heidi's telling of events all this to say that I know that this has not been an easy life for Heidi and H hopei he wrote most of the first 15 years of their lives were without a mother and the one that they did get to finally have passed away yum just when they started to all become really close and though they've recently reconnected with their birth mother which I'm so glad to hear it sounds like she has a whole other side of the story that she shared with them saying that I kept them from being with her all those years I hope someday they give me the opportunity to share my side of the 20 years that I raised them on my own rather than just accuse me of something without any chance to respond Rory Fe brings a voice to Tender under tribute one Angel written in memory of his late wife Joey Heidi's lawyer did not immediately respond to a request from people this process is complex emotionally draining and Incredibly expensive they wouldn't be fighting this battle unless it was absolutely necessary to keep Indie safe the pig says for the GoFundMe Heidi and Hopey
