*Warning, talk of abuse
A young girl (A), around age 7 or 8, wakes up in the middle of the night with a scary dream. Her father comes in to comfort her and starts asking her about it. Dad then begins asking, in very sexually explicit language, if someone has been touching her or putting anything inside of her (again, VERY explicit language). She says no, and is confused, but he continues. Finally she just says yes to get him to stop, and the younger sister (by a year or 2) says it happened to her too, because she doesn't want her sis to be alone. All of the girls' siblings are raised to believe the girls were raped as children, even the girls themselves. Teachers and friends and church members are all told that the girls were raped. It's not until adulthood that A is talking to her dad's new wife (C) and C says that the man tried to convince her of the same thing, only that it was her father that had raped her (which never happened). The girls realize that nothing ever happened to them and finally talk about it to each other and heal. BTW, mom went along with it, she is a pathological liar. Both parents have mental health problems
So, now let's say this man is your fil or your father. Would you allow your children to see him at all? Let him hold them? Is it your responsibility to tell this man's new daughter-in-law about it (because you know no one else will)? Would you let the mother around your kids? If more info is needed, just ask

I just hope it never happens to one of their kids.
