All that said, I would also have a huge amount of respect for them. From what I understand, abusers have nearly always been abused themselves. If this person had the courage not to act on those impulses and confide in me, I'd have to admit that they're probably 10 times stronger than I could be.
My daughter would still be going nowhere near them though.
That's a very well measured response, thank you.
