[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 653738, member: 1550"] Reminds me of when you find out the next door neighbor who always dresses nice and seems so helpful to his neighbors and wife and kids and has once helped you change your car's tire is a sexual predator. "OH, no! Can't be! He is always so nice and friendly and well dressed and never raises his voice and he even helped me change my car tire in the middle of the night! So there is no way he molested your child. You're lying. He has always been nice to me, so it is absolutely impossible that he has another, horrible side that your child saw." Some people, who were not the abused family person, only believe what THEY experienced, stupid though that is. People want to believe the best about loved ones who did not abuse them. They find it incomprehensible that the person is an abuser so you must have caused it, even if it started when you were four years old or ten years old. It's faulty thinking to protect yourself. Yawn. People like that tire me out. Excuse me while I nap. [/QUOTE]
