I don't know what we do but you telling me that they don't serve long sentences bothers me. That was news to me. As far as blame...in this one it's the guy who will or should bear the most. I just have a hard time with black and white thinking in situations where there is so much grey area.
He has to be very immature emotionally and mentally challenged to think that this "relationship" ever had a chance and then to still think it could work. That's totally irrational. That doesn't excuse him or mean he shouldn't be punished. If he is this way at 33yo then I don't see him changing much in the future so I don't know what you do with him. Please don't think I'm sympathizing with him Anika...I'm not. What he did can't be excused or condoned.
I'm sorry if anything I said upset you.
Try not to let what happened trigger you

From my own exp with a similar man, I can guarantee what George says of this man is accurate. Emotionally immature and mentally challenged is probably the case. After my own experience with such a character, having observed his behavior, one time taking a sub teen to a motel and plying her with beer!, I can say there are people out there who are skilled at mimicking functional behavior while operating on a totally sociopathic basis. What the courts will do with this man is a mystery.
