Philosophy - June 2006

My husband was sexually abused by his father for almost three years starting at age 8. His father was also going thru chemotherapy while he was abusing him. My husband seems to have forgiven his father but not his mother b/c she didn't do anything about it. he speaks highly of his father since he taught him what he knows before all this abuse and his death, yet his mother is someone whom he can't forgive.
In most cases I hear, the victim has a hard time letting go of the abuser's actions and hard tiume forgiving them.
How is it that my husband can forgive his father yet not his mother besides the obvious reasons?

Could it be b/c his father felt terrible everytime he did it and his mother till this day, never admitted to doing anything wrong?

In fact she said she didn't do anything about it b/c "I didn't feel it was bothering you. I didn't see you becoming gay from it."

If I mix white paint with blue paint, I get light blue paint.

If I mix white paint with green paint, I get light green paint.

If I mix white paint with red paint, why don't I get light red paint? Why do we need a special word for that one hue?

My dad has battled with type 2 Diabetes for several years. In the past three or four years, it has gotten extremely worse. Their have been times that he has lost consciousness while driving and been in a few accidents (thankfully - no one else was hurt expect my dad in these accidents). The state will not revoke his licenses as long as he can pass the eye test, even though he is partially blind in both eyes due to Cataract disease. He is only in his mid-50 and can be very stubborn when it comes to giving up his freedom to rome around when and where he wants to. Between the four of us children, we can't seem to convince him of the dangerous game his is playing with his life and others.

To simplify this question, we can limit he definition of "good" as those who believe in and practice the Golden Rule, and "evil" as those who don't.
