Exactly, they are saying they would hang him if Josh was their son - yeah right.
I am glad Law Enforcement were never called in because I never told anyone until 28 years later to my mother. It would made matter worse for me. I told my mother that I forgave them and she must too must forgive them for what they did do me. Yes I was also molested by Teenagers and children in a span of 5 years, but they have grown into mature responsible adults and I feel comfortable being around them since they are my cousins. They are not the teenagers nor children anymore. They grew and so did I.
My mother and I figure that they too were molested by someone also for them to have done it to me. As for the Adult though, he should have known better he remained a jerk and I remained far away from him as possible. God took care of him - he died in an accident.
Now I wonder about Josh, the Duggar parents seem very nice and trusting. I wonder if they left Josh alone with someone whom they trusted for Josh to think that was ok - just a thought.
That wasn’t easy at all for you. And yet, it turned the onus for dealing with the guilty one back to God. He had a choice, relational amends or not, apparently chose not, and possibly his own fomented recklessness removed himself from the picture.
Molestation is, among other things, the assertion of a lie. This is the assertion that the one doing the molesting has authority to state the status of the one molested. However, this isn’t a situation of poor dumb animals, this is a situation of men and women.
Yeah, these things seem to spread. Because of the shame it’s not talked about so most people don’t realize how common it is.
Your comments are appreciated. In spite of what you went through, you still seem to have a level head and treat the matter objectively.
Glad you found some resolution and healing from how you were mistreated.
Very interesting part about how the most guilty person who hurt you died.
Patriot Babe, same thing happened to me with a cousin. I fought him off and it never happened again. I put it behind me. I frequently see him with no problem. The only person I told was my now husband and only once.
He is a mature adult now and I’m sure the behavior is behind him too.
