[quote=Anonymous]OP, you should believe your sister and keep your kids away from this man, period.

My stepdad molested me when I was 13 or 14. I was able to get myself out of the situation before it escalated to rape, but I didn't tell anyone it happened. He had two daughters who were older than me and who had accused him of raping them, but of course, they were labeled as liars.

Fast forward to when I was 21 and visited my mom and stepdad. She asked me to give him a ride somewhere one night and he confessed to me how he viewed me as more of a wife than a stepdaughter, how he watched me sleeping in bed in my tank top and shorts, and other sick stuff. This time, I told my mom and she made him apologize.

I was done, though, and never went back to visit them. I saw way too many men in my family get away with this behavior with zero consequences and I wanted to change that. I saw my mom when she visited our hometown without him.

Prior to my wedding, my mom asked if she could bring her husband. She envisioned some big happy family reunion. I said no. My DH's stepmom asked me to lunch and gave me a speech about not wanting me to have regrets when my mom died, etc... I think she wanted me to allow my mom to bring my stepdad. I said no.

My mom died 4 years ago and I have zero regrets about the line in the sand I drew.[/quote]
