Hi, my ex who's now in prison has told me that he started having a sexual attraction towards children from the age of 13. He married me and had children with me to try to live a normal life. And he did. Until he let the genie out of the bottle after 30 years of marriage. I have no idea how I'm meant to simply carry on with my life. I've lost everything because of him. I don't know who I am anymore. I feel like the last 30+ years have been a complete farce. I'm so very angry with him because I tolerated stuff (not illegal) in our marriage for decades because he was so good with the children. He was so good with them because he is one! He's never matured mentally/emotionally into a regular adult, I think. I'm also angry with society. I'm angry that men like him have nowhere to go. Don't get me wrong, I've no idea whether some sort of intervention could've prevented what he is but it might have taught him some sort of coping mechanism. It might have prevented him feeling he needed to marry in order to create a "normal " existence. No real point to this post. I'm just venting.
