I read something about him. Some people say he didn't do anything against the law. I hope for him this is not true because if he's not guilty he's spending all his life behind bars
(I really like his voice. I didn't know he could sing
Sex offences against children from a photographer are NOT misdemeanours.
That information was not presented when my comment was made.
One day when your mother is gone you'll never see him again. And if he visits her Saturday ID visit on Sunday.I got word from my mother this evening that the Black Sheep of our family (my father's youngest brother) will likely be getting out of prison next April.
If so, he will have served 8 years of a 15 year sentence for multiple Child Endangerment and Invasion of Privacy charges he plead guilty to in 2009. These were related to a home photography business he ran. He will have to register as a sex offender and will be on lifetime parole.
Some of you know that my wife was raped and sexually assaulted on multiple occasions as a pre-teen. She still suffers the PTSD effects of those incidents even after nearly a decade of counseling (she repressed the memories for over a decade).
Assuming my uncle is released, there is a very high probability that he will be at certain family events that my wife and I also attend.
My wife has made it extremely clear that she wants nothing to do with him. I agree and feel the same way. However, my mother has made it very clear that she wants and expects me (not my wife) to at least be cordial to him at these events. I'd rather simply avoid him completely. If for no other reason than keeping me from causing a scene when I kick his ass.
What do you folks think? Any advice or suggestions on how to handle this sort of situation?
I got it from the original post.

Impossible. That information was not available in the OP.
Color me usurprised that you think Manson is a good guy.

I have a different idea of morality than you.
Charles Manson fought for something he believed in. That instantly makes him better than most people in my book. I do not agree with his theories, but I respect him for playing the game. It is of no consequence that he lost.
It is wrong to murder people who have nothing to do with what you are fighting about.
The fact that you support such idiocy merely reinforces my low opinion of you.

Hitler fought for something he believed in.

I do not believe in ethics so much as I believe in respecting the human condition.

I do not support what Charles Manson did (mercenary for hire), but I respect him for doing it.
Understand?
What point did I concede? You make up arguments and victories so you can live with your pathetic self? People do overcome drugs and alcohol in this reality but they have nothing to do with seeing a sex object when looking at a child. That means your brain is corrupt and as far as I am concerned, can be disposed of.What's yours? Personal experience? I've heard from many sources for many years they MAY alter behavior but the desire stays.Sure we do. They aren't curable and we don't pump bullets into their brain pans like we ought to.Nonsense. They are treated pretty well and often given a second chance. and third. And fourth. That doesn't mean we ignore the nature of the crime though, pedophiles need to be kept on a short leash. The dama ge they do may be irreparable and like has been said, may continue the cycle of abuse.
Compared to the resources we provide in terms of treatment for drug addicts and even spousal abuser, do, we do not "treat them pretty well."
And what's your expertise in this matter? Judging by your choice of words, my guess is you're no smarter than the OP.
So in other words it's exactly like drug and alcohol addiction. Thank you for conceding the point finally
That's stupid. You can only speak for yourself. If sex is about power and control that's you acting out on your shortcomings.We treat them fine, they get extensive counseling. The court system tries to rehab this group, how ever sexual deviants very rarely reform because the things that sexually excites them, power and control, does not change inside their minds.
All sex is based on power and control.
The problem is not their psyche. It is the fact that they have proven that their sexual desires outweigh their empathy for the victim.
I'd go to the events but pull him aside and tell him to stay away from you and your wife. Carry some pepper spray in case he forgets.

Just remember to turn away before you spray. FOX is good stuff but Sabre has some good ones, watch some youtube's, puts people down for a while.I'd go to the events but pull him aside and tell him to stay away from you and your wife. Carry some pepper spray in case he forgets.
That's kind do of where I think we're going to end up with this. Not really where I want to be, but probably where we'll end up.
You don't use a red cape?Sex is about feeling really, really, really good.
