[quote=Anonymous]My cousin accused my dad of inappropriately touching her as a teen about 30 years ago.   I was very young when this happened.  It was kept very hushed in the family though I remember going from seeing my cousin all of the time to like never.

Since everything was kept hushed, I was young and I ignored it.  However, recently I was at a wedding with him and another relative told me that he had fondled another woman at the wedding.  She complained to the other family member and my relative wanted me to know since I have a DD.  I also talked with my sister who said she had friends who complained about my dad being weird around them.  The weird thing is I lived with my dad as a teen (parents divorced) and he never did that with me or my friends.  He did get Playboy which I thought was weird but whatever.

After the wedding incident, I told my dad that my DD will never be alone with him EVER.  Unfortunately, he lives close by and likes to drop in.  He is remarried and his wife told me that he had complaints from women at work too.  However my dad and wife are trying to make me feel like a horrible person because of this new rule of mine.  My dad is very self-centered but can be extremely charming.

I don't want to cause further rifts in the family and I feel bad about doing what I have done. He never fondled.  I realize I  may be overreacting but I'd rather have a dad who was mad at me than a DD who faces abuse.

Did I take the right approach?
