I understand forgiveness, but there is a difference between forgiveness and staying with a predator.

I just don't get it.
We pastored a woman whose ex-husband was a child molestor (he molested their daugher for years) I think she just about lost her mind over the whole thing--but she still wanted to be with him---she was angry at him and still loved him! I didnt get it either.

I'll never understand mothers who love themselves more than their own children. That is pure selfishness and very sick. *gag*

She had real problems, and there wasnt anything anyone could say to her. It was very tragic. She was very angry over what happened to her daughter, and I think that is why she left him in the first place. But then she would have these moments of still wishing the marriage worked out.

It was too weird and I agree *gag*
