If this is not the place for this, please forgive me.
I am in absolute shock and overwhelmed with sadness and need to get it off my chest. A friend whom I have known for over 15 years was arrested for (and confessed to) molesting his step daughter. I am so sick over this. I am filled with unbearable sadness and grief for his wife and children and the rest of their family. I can't think about the whole thing without crying for them. I feel like the friend I knew is dead and his body overtaken by some monster. I am so shaken that there really is no way to know whom to trust. This is the LAST person anyone would suspect of doing something so horrid. He seemed like the epitome of a "good" person, was always well respected in the communtiy and in the church. I would have trusted him with my own children anytime. I just can't understand how he turned out to be so SICK. He's always been such a normal guy. I feel such a loss of trust in humanity. I feel so unbelievably sad for this little girl and what she must be going through and will go through for the rest of her life. And for her mother who will possibly always blame herself for bringing this man into their lives. I have not even been close with them for many years, just acquantences really, and the pain is so deep and so raw...I just cannot fathom what they are going through right now. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers.
