[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP - Did your DH stop thinking yet? I hope  you guys are on the same page. You're right.[/quote]

No, her Dad decided I am overreacting. He said his fiancé cried for two days that I think her dad is creepy. We're not fighting, but things are tense.[/quote]

OMG good grief.  
OP I would talk to a counselor who works with kids who have been molested.  I'd share everything you've shared here and see what they think.  If you and the counselor think it's a good idea, I'd have the counselor teach your child about do's and don'ts with Pap, and all other people really.  She doesn't even have to name Pap.  Just what's OK and what's not OK for an adult to be doing, and how to handle typical attempts by molesters to isolate you.

I had a similar problem with a creepy guy that lived at my mother in laws for a while.  (long story).  I talked to my personal counselor, a school counselor, and a child therapist so that I had confidence in my feeling and strategies for coping.  They bolstered my determination and faith in myself when I had to stand up to MIL and tell her "no, child will not be visiting your home until creepy guy moves out".  She had a total tantrum, crying, etc.

You can't keep your DD away from dad/fiance/paps, but you can teach her to be strong, smart, stand up for herself, keep lines of communication open with you, etc.

Thank God your child has you.  Keep up the good work OP.  [/quote]
