My Dear George, @Thin Man (I love the name George) you are the first man I’ve ever met who totally ‘gets’ pedophilia and I am so grateful. I told a story here once, but deleted it because it brought me pain and shame. My Father had the disease but stopped when I threatened him…that story remains here. Two of my brothers sexually assaulted me…I didn’t recover from that for a long time. After numerous attempts and bouts with suicide I learned that a psychiatrist or analyst can’t fix you, but can guide you out of a bad situation. I’ve found my own joy in life but learned that wounds heal, scars don’t. In your writings about the subject I felt I had a male ally for the first time in my life. For what it’s worth, you made me feel safe. Thank you.
