- Protect The Children.
Dear Mrs. Figgins:
Fifteen years ago my uncle molested me. I was 9 years old and he was 14. It went on for 3 years, until his family moved out of town.
I grew up, got married and had two children. My kids are now 5 and 7.
I saw my uncle again for the first time 6 months ago. Call me crazy but we somehow began having an affair and I ended up having a miscarriage.
I’m completely taken by him and find myself sneaking around just to be with him.
My husband doesn’t know about any of this. I don’t want to be sorry if I leave my marriage and things don’t go right.
What do you think?
Shirley
Dear Shirley:
Never mind what I think. What I know is that your kids are at risk.
Your uncle molested you and he is a predator. The fact that you are knowingly and willingly involved with a child molester makes you an unfit mother.
The right thing to do is to tell your husband and family the truth about your involvement.
At they will be able to do what you obviously can’t which is protect your kids from a child molester as well as your own actions.
Don’t ever allow your uncle to come near your kids.
Mrs. Figgins
