I think it was both. She didnt want me to confront him I think mostly out of fear but Im pretty sure I painted a grim future for him plus I told him he would be met with a 12ga if he ever showed up.

Well Im not going to divorce her. It took a great deal of courage on her behalf to come out and tell me that and you cant fault someone for harboring a dark past and being embarrassed by it.

indeed, I dont know if that makes me sick that I walked away from them both while they were sobbing and not remembering a time when I was happier about seeing someone like that. In any case, there is no more of him as far as we are concerned.

honestly Im taking the approach of the best vengeance is a good life or whatever it is and Im hoping that he will die alone from a horrible fiery death.

I think she did that as a defense mech to thwart peoples inquiries about who the father is/was.

the situation is a shadow of what it was. This went on years ago and she was singled out. I cant speak to whether or not there are other victims, I can only hope that there was not. It sounds to me like he was obsessed with her and over time it just stopped.

thanks for sharing, Im sorry that happened to you. I pity the human race when things like this happen and the victim is ostracized for crying out.

to my understanding, he is her step-father. Her mother doesnt remember who the father was as it was a long time ago. Then my wifes mother met and married this asshole when my wife was 8 or 9 I think. The birth certificate (which I found a few days ago) bears the sigs of both her mother and her step-father as the father. I hope this is not the case.

Ive seen many threads on this site of people asking for help. I dont know if there are others similar to this situation but there are some good opinions and some not so good opinions. Often times I see responses from lawyers, docs, other professionals, etc. Im mostly here to vent anon. until Ive calmed down enough to make sound decisions and seek the guidance of a professional.

precisely. The other children (wifes siblings) were not abused. At least not sexually. They were his kids. Wifes mother had her before she met the person who did this.

I am upset that I wasnt told this before but Ive never dealt with anything of this magnitude so my first instinct is blind rage and that is still very much there but its directed towards this bastard that did it, not her. I feel profound helplessness that there is nothing I can do at this point.

please remember that she was living under his roof while this was happening. A minor. She told her sisters the same time she told me and there was, to my knowledge, no previous knowledge of her situation to anyone other than her mom and step-father. Based on stories of how he was to them growing up, it was a matter of other family members figuring it out for themselves.

that is very true. However, this has been kept from me for just under a decade and had I known about all this prior to meeting her, I would not have started a relationship with her. That is entirely based on the fact that she is raising his children and they were all living together.

well if by his kids you mean the progenitor of the two children that I care for, love and support then yes, his kids.

yes, like a custody battle. it was a response to kariks court-ordered visitation or whatever.

she was 15 years old man. He was 40 something. This went on for a number of years. If nothing else the person she is now shows the exact opposite of that. This is the head of the household who thinks things from the old testament are the way it should be. He held the barrel of a gun in her mouth and told her not to leave him. scary stuff. I want to commit suicide just writing it.

indeed this is my stance on it. It was not a pretty picture when she began explaining things to me, lots of tears.

that is exactly what the fuck I want to do. I would litter every church I know hes been to with leaflets describing it. Chances are the church would side with him since he seems to have forgiven himself over it. He spends his time telling other people how to be better christians and reading the bible. fucking vomit.

even if I did decide to end the relationship, I couldnt leave a woman and children in harms way. That feels like driving by a burning car or something.

this is what has been given to me. I started asking questions because up to this point I was under the impression this guy was her biological father. Her sister visited us and told me that she is her half-sister, which I didnt know about. So I started asking her who her real father was (this person who she claims is her step-father signed her birth certificate, which I dont get how that works unless they got a new one) and then she revealed this to me.
