I couldn't really finish reading the article. I hope the original author will realize that hanging on to his anger will only perpetuate the crimes committed against his daughter. His characterisation of permanent damage done to his daughter makes me wonder if she will ever be able to escape the trauma in his eyes. Will he be able to provide a safe place for her to go where people know about her past but care only about her present? If he thinks of her as having limited potential for the future, how will she escape that past? She needs a father, not an avenger.
It's amazing the damage people can do chasing justice.
- PhasmaFelis 11y agoSo your argument is that, because this guy says that child rape does permanent damage, you can tell that his parenting probably hurts his daughter more than being repeatedly raped did?

- turkeysandwich 11y agoHis parenting isn't worse than her abuse, obviously. But he should still chill the fuck out. Yes, bad things happen. But no, you're not permanently broken. You can grow up and have a normal life.
- geek_slop 11y agoDisagree - in many cases they are permanently impacted, even if they are not aware of it. Who were are is a product of our life experiences and a child, especially one that is molested repeatedly during extend periods of their youth, are permanently changed. They form an especially deep distrust of adults and may lose the ability to utilize all the subtle clues we all incorporate when forming an opinion of a person.
