Reply To: Life as the son of a Child Molester: My story

forthebest, thanks for the question. If I were to hear this from a girl I was dating, and the girl seems to be strong in her faith and has a positive attitude even with everything she’s gone through, I would be impressed, amazed, and feel incredibly lucky to be dating someone like that. Not only would I “accept” it, I would consider it a huge bonus. It means she has the ability to see everything positively, and use the tragedies in her life to make herself an even better person. And, I would be able to relate to her better than other people because of my own situation.

So, if you are dating someone seriously, and it is clear that he respects you, don’t be ashamed or scared to tell him. In all probability, he will respect you even more for it. He will see how lucky he is to potentially be marrying such an amazing girl.

I’m so happy you were able to open up to us here. Hopefully, we can all help each other, and may you find your match soon!
