My daughter-in-law's sister, just gave birth to her first child yesterday .
So what's wrong with that ? She is a young woman in her early 20's her live in boyfriend is in his early 30's and he is a two times convicted child molester. The new mom has spent her entire pregnancy defending him , saying all the things you would expect to hear from a person living in denial.
He's paid his debt , he's not the same guy , he was younger then , he's older now, I'll keep a close watch , etc....
I have met my daughter-in-law's sister one time and that was at my son's wedding , I've never met the ' boyfriend' but I have been hearing my daughter-in-law trying to talk sense to her sister over the phone and I have heard all the 'details' after the phone calls.
I ask my daughter-in-law if the guy has had any sort of therapy or counseling and the answer her sister gave is " he's paid his debt and he's not the same guy he was back then. " That sounds like a "NO" to the question of therapy .
The new baby is no blood relation to me but that doesn't stop me from worrying about the child's safety .
I realise that the young mother has made her decision to trust that man by living with him and having a child with him .
Am I over reacting ?
Ten year age difference doesn't put me off - Child molestation thing does however.
Yet society can't just keep people alive it doesn't want to have to deal with. No matter what the man has done he should be offered to be put down if he's not going to be forgiven.
..which takes me back to my Suicide Clinic idea but that's a whole other topic.
