RG - Kudos to you for holding a job and paying your taxes and trying to stay on the right side of the law --- You sound like a stand up kinda guy.
But ---- as a child/teen, have you ever been a victim of a sex crime? If you haven't, let me tell you what can sometimes happen, and I'm telling you from experience: in cases of molestation, usually the perp is someone you trust. A neighbor, a relative, a friend of the family, a priest, a pastor, a deacon, a youth group leader, a teacher. over the course of time, the perp has the victim convinced that if he/she tells, the victim will be in trouble.... I didn't tell my parents because I was afraid they wouldn't love me anymore. The abuse had gone on for years before I had the guts to stand up to my perp and threaten him. I still felt tainted and worthless on the inside, but still had to act like I was "normal". It was like leading a double life. I used to cut myself and didnt' understand why. I would sabotage relationships...
