Unless he admits he has a problem and gets some help, I will point out to them the behavior that I do not want to see them be drawn to in adult men. My oldest already asks me questions about why daddy isn't here. My answer? "Daddy has a problem and needs help because he hurts mommy."
I will not lie to my children when they ask questions. I feel I would be betraying my children if I didn't give them an accurate picture.

Look, I am sorry if you find it offensive that I have a problem with a man sexualizing his own children, assaulting their mother in front of them, including sexual assault, running me into the ground financially (when we met, he had nothing, I had the big job making $100,000. and he exploited me financially while we lived together). I am a mother who finds it abnormal for a father to play with his daughter's nipples (I saw it) and then have these other things surface. This isn't a contest to me...you make it sound like I am just fighting to be right or win or some immature stance like that. I could not live with myself if I did not advocate fully for the welfare of my children. God has given them to me to keep in the utmost care and I take that duty very seriously.

I am going to continue my path to fighting to keep my kids safe and healthy. Yes, my kids love their dad...I loved him once too, but that doesn't mean he was good for me and it doesn't mean that he is good for them just because he is there father. He needs help and I don't know if he can be helped. This person toys with me. Not just me, he has conned his entire family and friends too. There is so much more to this that I am going to get into here because I can see the stereotype is alive and well and I will just be erroneously judged as you have judged me, look in the news...men killing their kids over custody issues and the like...that is how serious my situation is, okay? So please, don't cast me in a light like that because MY TRUTH makes you uncomfortable.
