I met him a year and a half ago. He says IT (touching) happened when He was 14 yrs old, he's now 32 and he says it was an isolated incident. He says it has never happened again. He says he was a kid himself, no one told him different about how to deal with the feelings of puberty. I told him he was old enough to know. Can I forgive him if what he says is true? Children have their natural curiosity, but what kind of questions can I ask to know if he's telling the truth? Are questions worth asking? I am a victim as well from happenings in my childhood, my friend is aware of this. I told him he's on the opposite side of the fence from me. I am a victim, he was an offender. What I do know is that most offenders were abused themselves when they were children. I know I can talk to a counsellor, but I prefer the anonymity in Yahoo. I know my friend loves me, and I love him. He's written apologies to the kids. I question if any answers he gives me will soften this blow. CryingHelp
