Yes it does. But it is happening more & more. Who knows what these men have done in the past either. Maybe they ought to look into that. If I even thought my 2nd husband looked at any of my children in anyway I thought was abnormal he would have been so out of my life. Thankfully he just wanted to be a father & has been a really good one. I wonder if the mother saw any signs. I think sometimes women refuse to see things because they just don't want to deal with them. Sad to say.
Any evidence of that? Data? Links? Anything but your gut feel?
We're supposed to be scared. It makes us easy to manipulate.
Hard to figure about some women. Maybe they are afraid they won't be able to make it without a man. I had a student once whose stepfather told "Mom", make a choice, the kid or me, and "Mom" chose the man and kicked the kid out on the street.
Not the first time in history that's ever happened, but thankfully I haven't known of very many first hand.
