[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I believe that people can redeem themselves from criminal mistakes made in their youth,  [/b]but ultimately the support of the family for victims trumps that of the offender.  Your DH seems to acknowledge that his family has every right to support the cousin.   You are the one who wants to brush things under the rug because you are ashamed of your DH and your kids finding out about it.

The best parenting you and DH could do is for your DH to honestly acknowledge the HUGE mistake he made and explain to your sons that the consequences of his actions will follow him around for the rest of his life.  The professional and legal repercussions and the personal/familial repercussions.   One of which is that his family supports the cousins who made reasonable accusations given your DH's sex offenses.

Sexual predators can NEVER be redeemed or rehabilitated.[/quote]
Why do you say this?[/quote]
Are you really unaware that they have the highest recidivism rate? You seem like you’re just trolling.[/quote]

[b]OP here: I want to make it clear I wasn’t that poster. [/b]I am aware of the recidivism rate. His crimes are something I have had to come terms with and my decisions were made intelligently and made based on who he is and what he has done to better himself.

I know my husband, and I know how much work he has put in to better himself following his crimes. Because of that, I fully believe he has rehabilitated himself. I know that isn’t a guarantee he won’t struggle or even commit another crime, but I had to ask myself whether I believe he would be a part of those statistics. I think my answer to that question should be clear based on my decisions.[/quote]
No one thought you were the PP. Unless you sockpuppet or refer to your husband in third-person.[/quote]
