I appreciate you sharing this. Thank you! |
Uh serving time for computer porn? That sounds like child porn. Ewwww. Hell no. |
Same. I realized what was normal/healthy vs my home environment. My best friend in the world (30 years) helped me figure that out. |
The registry is mostly garbage.
They should be totally revamped or ditched. |
That's your response? OP is protecting her child. It's his own fault and behavior that he's on the registry. The registry is there for a reason and this is it. |
There's a lot of garbage making the registry. Sex offenders are totally garbage. |
This. Adult porn is not illegal. Child porn has many victims. The PP has forgiven? Was she a victim? Only the victims can forgive. |
You have forgiven? What did he do to you? Wasn't kind to the kids in the videos was he? |
You’ve only met him briefly and spoken to coordinate meetups, but you’ve also had detailed conversations about your career? I really hope someone wouldn’t make up a story like this, but this sounds fake. |
Why would you punish the child for her father's transgressions? There is a reason he hasn't invited your daughter over and that is because he is not allowed to. He is doing the right thing in that regard. Of course your daughter should still be friends with the child. |
I don’t know what religion you speak of, but you may want to look into what forgiveness means. My religion tells me that I should hold on to hatred for someone who has wronged me or feel tgat they are indebted to me. To me, that is forgiveness. I don’t see how forgiveness has anything to do with your neighbor, wife, and “computer porn”. |
i should NOT hold on to hatred…. |
Tough situation, but I second the contribution that all sorts of non-abusive, non-sexual things can get people onto the sex offender registry, like getting caught peeing in a public place. (Good manners, no, but if you did it when you were 21 and you're still getting punished, that's a lot.) Take care of yourself and your daughter and that's all you need to do. |
I wouldn't allow my child alone with him or their house but the kids can still be friends and be at your house. |
I don't know why you would stop having the friend over at your house. The friend is not the offender. There will be many times in her life that people reject her because of what her father did. You don't have to add one more. |
