A good friend of my surrogate mom is doing 17 years for molestation. A HUGE community-wide shock.
I had a bit of an odd feeling when in his home for a holiday party, but my radar didn't give me the usual level of unease.
You just never know.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

I totally get how creepy that can feel but, he was picked up, but not yet convicted, right?
If you are okay, don't let that guy/situation win by causing you to suffer now.

thank you. I am okay and am being completely self-centered. I'm not M***, or her parents.
He's in jail, 100,000 bail, confession.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes.

Thrive to spite them
That is just so creepy and horrifying.
And what is it with clergy not going to the police when someone is suspected of child molestation but suggesting counseling. I mean it sounds like the counselor notified authorities about his "problem" but the church was just going to let it slide.

His wife, who has always been a self-centered b****, left my mum a voicemail, all cool and collected, just "wanting to touch base". She probably wants the money for the latest work he did on the house.

The kicker is: not surprising.
when I was a kid, he was the awesomest dude to ever awesome. He made youth group so fun that my 10 year old brother, who had already sided with my mom in not going to church, wanted to join in. When I got older I realized that he hid insults in jokes, was self-centered and passive-aggressive. And I was grossed out by all the girls (from 8 to 18) in love with him, cooing over him and sitting in his lap at the beach bash in their bathing suits and thinking he hung the moon.
I can only imagine what my mother must have been thinking, with my grownup dislike for him and refusal to attend the beach bash, avoiding him at parties, and the past three years of telling her to fire his ass and get a new contractor.
