If your child was sexually assaulted, could you ever forgive the perpetrator?

As a Christian, I think the correct answer is yes. But you ask me about my child. In all honesty, my answer is no.No, no, no.

The horror, betrayal, anger, would be hidden in my soul until my last moment of life. Some things are just so horrible that they could not be worse, and that is why I can't imagine my feelings being different to a stranger or a person of trust who perpetrated the act.My hatred would be all consuming. I am not perfect.

I doubt that I could. If it was a trusted individual, that would make it even worse. It would seem even more diabolical, and I imagine that I would be extremely upset that a trust like that had been violated for my child, since they would probably struggle to trust anyone again.

Sexual predators who attack children are sometimes so caught up in their own fantasies that they really believe they are not hurting the child, but I would still not be able to let it go. That kind of behavior is absolutely intolerable, and leaves a lifelong scar.

No. Chances are I wouldn't need to because they'd mysteriously disappear into a crab cage or bear belly in Alaska. In cases of child molestation I don't think the law punishes these people properly.

I know personally what that sort of thing does to a child.. and I'd put it on par with murder. A life for a life.

It wouldn't matter who they were I could never forgive them.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
