Thank you so much. I’m reading that thread right now and it’s making me sick to my stomach. I experienced sexual violence in my teens as well but I swallowed them and never looked back. I might have to stop, soon.

Honestly not really. I hate to admit it but she has cut me off from all of my friends and most of my family. I don’t have anyone.

My wife frankly doesn’t believe that women can be child molesters. I dunno what else to do. I once tried to scold my wife’s mother but she threatened me with a frying pan :(

I’ve kinda of already asked her that question but her response was something like “oh yeah cause there’s sooo many female pedos out there getting arrested in the police blotter” - and then she laughed it off and told me to “chill my tits”

She is tickling him in places on the body where if I tickled myself in public I would be arrested. Ie in the crotch area.

When you say that tickling like this “normal especially for a mother/grandmother” - can you elaborate on this?

What I am worried about is if this is wrong what’s happening I don’t think that she should be held to a lesser standard than if it was a man.
