By the way, I meant to thank you and apologize to you. Thank you for the funny short thing you shared. I laughed too.

Apology? I'm sorry I forgot to include you in my previous response. Please don't take that as a judgment.

What I wanted to say is that if things were less evolved in terms of what is considered criminal sexual behavior, I would certainly be awaiting a court date myself.

After my indiscretion, I was reminded of the book The Scarlet Letter. The behavior represented in Hawthorne's study would not be punishable by law today. But back then? You bet and severely so.

Not to mention that in some communities--and not just religious ones--adultery still IS punishable.

I am so sorry for what you are going through. It seems that the justice system is not lacking for pills as much as it is for true rehabilitation.

You have my hugs and support
