Quote From: sedusa88Wow!!! All I can say, is this type of guy is not a "bad boy", he is sick. I am so sorry to hear that your niece would choose such a man to be around her children. I am the one married to the man doing life, and people like my husband would not tolerate men that touch children. I have dated many "bad boys" and they all feel the same about sexual predators. If i were you, I would have social services step in if he is allowed to be around children. Sex offenders are NOT allowed to be around children at any time. Your niece is putting her family in harms way. I feel sorry for her, she must be looking through the eyes of being in love, but she will feel different when it starts to happen in her family. Please help her realize that he can NEVER change. There isn't any rehabilitation for those types. I pray everything works out for you and your family. It's gonna take a lot of convincing her and maybe drastic measures to remove her children if he stays around. Good luck!
Hi Sarah;
I'm in the 20 year club myself. I know exactly what you are talking about. There are good men in prison, but they put up a hell of a wall to the free world and try and stay tough. I've seen men like your husband and mine with kids and it is really amazing. I've seen hardened criminals sit on the ground and play blocks with little ones, riding the see-saw, etc... (when the guards allowed it) and they are putty in the kids hands. You sound like you have your head on pretty straight and as long as you keep your eyes open and it's working for you, don't let anyone put you down for it. YOU are the one that has to keep you happy. I remember the high I felt after a good visit and the anticipation for the next visit...roller coaster ride, definitely. I saw a movie once where a grandma described living life either on a carousel or roller coaster taking chances...she preferred the roller coaster! I've come to the conclusion that all the good men are either gay, married (or both), or in prison. A lot of them are in there for stupid decisions and non-violent crimes. Tell your husband to keep his head up and that he is a lucky man to have a woman like you supporting him. Good luck.
Mary
