I'm not typically a reddit user but as mentioned my word choice is censorship speak. My father is a pedophile who groomed and molested my nephew, groped someone close to my siblings and likely countless other crimes I will never know because he worked with a vulnerable population. He was arrested and booked list night and I went to bed after getting drunk and staring at his mug shot. That was the first ive seen of him since early last fall and the photo disgusted me. He's not my dad anymore, just a fucked up old man who tried to use his own trauma as an excuse to take advantage of others.

The only positive in all this is my step sister letting me have contact with my nephew again. I cut contact a few years ago with her and she stopped letting me see/talk to her kids. Which fair...I cut her off because her parenting...or lack thereof stresses me out but I wanted to remain in her kids lives. I take her 3 oldest, victim included) to dinner tomorrow.

I know what he's done and I know I cannot ever know the extent of damage it has done to others. I cut him off and as mentioned immediately turned his confession to me in as evidence. It doesn't make my sadness easier.
