The last post I wrote was powerful. It was also sad and heart wrenching. It brought me and thousands of others to tears as we read the words of a father speak out about how his children were abused by the man I called my husband for almost forty years. I haven’t slept a night through since this story was published. Why? Because I still find it so dehumanizing to think of what pedophiles do to children, and it is heartbreaking to me to know that this type of abuse goes on day after day while good, honest, caring parents are unable to recognize the abuse.

The subject of manipulation and spousal abuse is a bigger one than I imagined and deserves its own special attention. After reading so many of your comments, I am beginning to understand the magnitude of not just pedophilia, but of abuse in general. It literally breaks my heart. I’m beginning to understand more and more the emotional turmoil of so many people in bad relationships. This kind of pain – emotional and physical abuse – leaves scars that run deep. Clear to the soul!
Let’s continue today with the story of my life living with a pedophile. Sometimes the weeks went along uneventfully and there wasn’t much that seemed out of the ordinary. Other times there were things that stuck out and caused so many questions – questions that never really had good answers.
