I should have known. He'd been married before a few times and always to women who had teenaged daughters. He had been a HS coach who had to quit. Truth was that he'd been fired because of raping a girl over a long period of time and molesting other girls, but in his town the church, the police, and his friends protected him and threw the victims under the bus so the investigation was quashed and he didn't have a record. But, you are right, I have been poisoning myself out of shame and guilt, and anger too, for too many years. It's time to heal and look to the future instead of live in the past. I'm going for a heart-healthy hike here in a few minutes. Beautiful day. That helps.

@catmom777 Glad to hear you,ve turned the corner have a great hike and if you need to see someone to talk it put but this sounds encouraging

@catmom777 This type of thing is so sad. Sad what it does to others. I am sad you are suffering from things of the past. Many of us here suffer as well because of the behavior of others. Some hurts cannot be healed. Accepting terrible things have happened and moving on is not an easy thing. I, for one, am still working on doing so. Grateful for those who can understand and be supportive.
