I'm giving a second chance

As you know my stbx  was in jail on got out on the 1-1-09. I saw him on the 1-2-09. We talked. cried and made love. He has a severve mental problem and that is why he molested his daughter. He was in a a cycle. Can anyone relate to this. You would have to be a psychologist. He truly loves me and me him. He committed adultry as he was going through another cycle. YES we can handle because he will get help for this problem. thankyou for all of the support BUT GOD had a change of my plans and completely softened my heart.

Child molesters and pedophiles have an extremely high recidivist rate! Why do you think there are sex offender lists and the public has to be notified when sex offenders move into an area....is he a level 1, 2 or a 3? 
No matter which level...your life will not be easy living with him...
One of his "cycles"? That sounds like an excuse for "opportunity to commit a sex crime".....
Sorry....I think you are deluding yourself on this...

Interesting you have now adopted the "cycle" defense to excuse his behavior.   

Please keep this man away from children at all times and please protect your family from him.     Its fine that you want to hook back up but do not put anyone else at risk.   You never know when he will "cycle" through some bad behavior again.

Please read exactly what I am quoting from your own previous posts:

"thankyou for all of the support this group has given me through emails. If you have ever been MANIPULATED by a master mind manipulator you know what a number they can do on your head. I have to stand firm!!!"

"I stopped showing him intimacy and he had to find it with his friend. She lives next door to his ex-wife. He molested his daughter and was not suppose to be within the neighboorhood!!! How stupid is that."

"My stbx molested his daughter ( did his jail time ) so i let him move in with me.  I was thinking of him not the offense. My son was very hurt as he felt I chose my stbx over him and his family. I did but I was thinking between my legs(sorry) not with my head."

You might want to give him another chance, but please, please stop and think about exactly what you have said when he was in jail. IF you give him another chance, I suggest you do NOT live with him while he is getting treatment.

He has shown over and over again that he is not rehabilitated or really getting the treatment he needs. His excuses of 'it's a cycle' need to be addressed BEFORE you live together as husband and wife again, or you will be here again saying how he was such a manipulator and he will cheat on you again, somehow saying that it was your fault.

I highly suggest doing this, if at all, completely separated!!!

Just my suggestion...

Sounds like you are in denial and blame everything on his mental cycle. However, the fact remains he is ultimately in control of the actions and if it is truely something that is out of his control. Why would you want to be with him with the factor of not knowing what he may then also be capable of doing to you. I feel that the issue is actually more of a fear of being alone. Rather than the actual feelings you think you feel for this man. I had the same issues with my soon to be ex. Not to this extreme but the fact he was an alcoholic and I stayed through all the crap with the confusing that I loved him and ultimately it was the fear of being alone!

i had to ask another question.  you say he molested 'his' daugher. i'm assuming that his daughter from another relationship? 

would you feel differently about him if he molested your daughter?

can you tell us what happened that softened your heart please?  i understand and sympathize with mental illness.  but molesting his daughter?!

have you talked to a therapist about why you feel this need to stay with someone who molested his daughter? 

is it possible there are some martyr issues going on here?  maybe you feel better when saving someone?  i have no idea..and forgive me if i'm over-stepping, but i can not think of one reason, ever, why i would forgive a child molester and / or why i would opt to live with them.

can you help explain please?
