I most certainly DO understand the ramifications of what my son did as I've been living with the nightmare for over four years now. Oh, and how I wish I could take back the 'upper middle class' part of my thread. I certainly didn't mean to come across as 'better than' by saying that. I stand corrected and I totally understand I can't see my younger son with the older one around.
So you are inherently choosing one child over the other. You are choosing a predator over your younger son who was taken advantage of by a predator.
I understand he is your son but he is also a monster. If my child ever molested one of her cousins or siblings or anyone, I would tell her to get the hell out of my house. If any of her older siblings (albeit they are half siblings) ever laid a hand on her I would make sure they landed in jail.
You sound like a horrible person who does not deserve to have any children.
Her younger son was first victim and then predator. I don't think she had any way of knowing her younger child would also become a predator. Btw, how old was your younger son when he "played doctor" with his nephew or niece?
I don't remember, but I assume he had a lot of counseling after he was touched by his older brother?
This is a horrible situation to be in. I would recommend counseling for everyone. Good luck.
I can't believe how sanctimonious most of the people here think they are. One would surmise the bulk of you walk around with halos over your heads. All I can say is I hope all of you are as 'perfect' as you think you are. I already know I'm not.
Thanks dogmatique for admitting you're not perfect either. Hindsight is always 20/20. Believe me, I prayed a LOT before I embarked on any of the decisions I made concerning all of this. I sincerely thought I was doing the right thing. Turns out danged near every possible thing I did was the wrong method of handling things. That being said, we don't learn anything by doing things right, we only learn when we choose wrongly and see the screwed-up results of that poor decision.
