Same thing happened to a friend of mine. Her molester was a family friend and too important to her mother’s cocktail-party social network to be charged or even shunned. He remained a frequent, welcome guest in their home... . Just awful. She only told me about it after her mother died and I regret not having the chance to have a few words with her.
A mother who looks away is as much a monster as the one who hurts a child.
I wish you joy today and that, one day, you can kill that “clown” and sleep in peace
“A mother who looks away is as much a monster as the one who hurts a child.”
Possibly more so.
A mother is supposed to protect and love her kid.
I know if I’d had a kid and somebody molested him/her, I’d have just gut shot the bastard and done my time, cheerfully.
Hmmmm...I wonder if you just psychoanalyzed my current tag line?....:)
[I never know what my subconscious is up to, the tight-lipped, enigmatic, secretive little thing]
Ironically, every time they sent me to some head shrinker to find out “why I am not like them” [as though *that* was a bad thing] -every- analyst said I shouldn’t be there...~they~ should.
