A mistake is leaving the milk on the counter instead of putting it back in the fridge. Knowingly keeping your daughters in the same house as the one that molested them is not a mistake, that is a really stupid fuck up. People don't just get molested at night. He could have molested them at any point.
I will bring religion into it at this point to say that it's prolly cause they think their faith healed him and it was okay to leave them together since ya know some religious people like to put a lot of faith into healing. But again irrelevant so I will just stick with this is not just some little mistake of theirs to be brushed aside which you so easily seem to want to do. THAT is the part that makes me look at the screen and your replies like you might be a bit too much on their side.
I can see your point. Let me clarify.
I am NOT on their side of this. The second they learned of the abuse was when it should have been reported and he should have been out of the house. End of story. I do believe you are right in what they believed. I mentioned I think they felt they had it handled and clearly they misjudged their effectiveness in the situation. I also think they were worried about their reputations (self centered) if this got out. That only made things worse in most peoples minds and right fully so. They made wrong choices and as I mentioned before these will have life altering effects on all those involved. I know from experience.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
