Often, the wife either knows or does not want to know, because she doesn't want to lose the man over it (for either financial or emotional reasons)
This happens more often that we know about, or would like to know, IMO.
My wife’s bio-father was a serial pedophile. He molested her, from the age of 6 until 11, as well as her brothers, and 88 other children. He did stuff like by a swimming pool, and then got his children to bring other kids over, ostensibly to play in the pool, but really to molest them. He brought pedophile buddies over to his house so he could share his kids with them (how the hell does one network with other pedophiles?). My wife dealt with a lot of guilt about bringing other kids over, and it was difficult to get her to understand that being a little girl, she was not responsible. Last I knew, he was still locked up in an Oklahoma prison. Never met him, and I better never meet him in the future. Anyway, there is no way anyone can convince me that her mother knew nothing about this during all those years.
Then, her mom married another real scumbag, who later raped my wife when she was about 14. Her mother did not give a damn about her kids, and used my wife basically as a lil slave, until I met her. They hate my guts for a couple reasons. I took their lil servant away, and when they tried to fill her head with BS such as how she could not legally move out until she was 21, I told her the truth. Perhaps another reason they hate me has something to do with me taking a baseball bat to the SOB one day, and putting his ass in the hospital for 2 months. They had come to our house, when my wife was 7 months pregnant with our first son, started an argument, and ended up attacking my wife. He got hospitalized, and my mother-in-law is now sporting a new set of teeth.
My wife has, since then, not spoken to her mother for over 20 years.. and we plan to keep it that way.
Her mother once said, after her first husband got sent up, that if she remarried, she would never divorce again... NO MATTER WHAT. She has lived up to that, and is still married to the scumbag. There is a small measure of justice, however, since now, none of her children speak to her, she never see’s her grandkids, he has turned into a worse drunk who beats on her, and she is the only one working, supporting his worthless ass.
One day, I shall piss on her grave.
Often? I refuse to believe that.
Seems there is one common thread in virtually ALL of these guys. Violence.
The wife and the entire family fears they will be killed.
Either that, or they've been mentally and emotionally neutered...which I guess is what you implied above.
;^)
That is happening & its so sad. I can't imagine if my mother looked the other way if that was happening to me. I just feel so sad & depressed over these stories. Prayers for all the children...
