This is the third time I have seen this in the last 4 months. Here was someone who was trying to reach out.. it starts out ok.. then suddenly ( see the middle of page one) folks go nuts about the affair.. bring their own personal sitch's into it and just develope a mob mentality and whack the thread owner with 2x4's totally ignoring the reason the person is here ! I hate this !
What if this forum was dedicated to rape survivors? In fact, rape survivors who were held captive for weeks, months, sometimes years. Rape victims who were beaten, assaulted, mocked, spat upon, lied to - rape victims who knew their children were just over in the other room hearing bits and pieces of what was happening to their mom or dad.
And so, we have that forum dedicated to rape victims - and then we have a rapist come on and try to explain to us how rapists have feelings too.
A rapist who wants the rape victims to understand that they didn't mean any harm, it just happened - like a lightening bolt, or an act of God.
Most of my sympathy and understanding goes to the raped.
