Avoice,

I remember the day my father got out of prison. I remember it like it was yesterday. I freaked out. And that was nearly 5 years ago, (coming up in a week or so). I wanted to make sure that no matter where he went that he wasn't going to hurt any more children like he hurt me. I knew that if he moved by his parents he would be close to lots of neices and nephews and if he moved by his kids he would be by soon to be grand children so I didn't know what to do. I had to work through it with my therapist, I even had a talk with him and let him know what my thoughts were and how concerned I was for all the children in his life. It took me a long time to accept that the parents were going to protect their children from this child molester. And I did what I needed to do which was inform who needed to know that he was a registered sex offender. I found out this weekend that he still has 'those' feelings when he holds his grand children so he can't hold his grand children any more. But he was honest about that and told the parents about these feelings, so he was protecting the child involved and himself, but that still worries me because he is as I feared 'not cured'.

My point being is that you have every right to be worried and scared. Keep working with your therapist and even right out what your concerns are so that you can address them. Because YOU are IMPORTANT. And YOUR FEELINGS are IMPORTANT. Best of luck.
