The sad thing is Number six that many girls who are looking for love...to be cared for...to feel protected....are given that by much older men and actively seek it in a so called 'Father figure'...some find it in their own Father but the 'closeness' develops into something more than one would expect and others find someone they admire...often appearing as a powerful person but who may be weak and/or predatory and the relationship 'happens'. The saddest thing of all is when the teenage girls actually realise what they have done and how it can affect the rest of their lives.....some tried suicide...some ran away...some made a decision to 'grow up' with whatever help they could muster. Many gave up their children for adoption, being unable to cope with the stresses and strains of motherhood and in spite of all the help they were given. At the end of the day they have been taken advantage of by older men....perhaps weak men who found difficulty in their own lives and relationships.
Life happens but aint it crap for some..sometimes.
There were times when my heart bled for those kids...especially a twelve year old..pregnant by her own father....he went to prison..but hey..did that help her?
Best wishes. Mike.
