Hello, I am an offender and a child molester. I hate what I have done in the past and have to live with the pain that I caused my victims. I am glad that I turned myself in, because I know without a doubt that my offending would have gotten worst. I have many behavior problems that I am working on, and learning how to cope with. I to was abused growing up in many ways mental, sexual, and physical. I learned all the wrong things to do in my life, how to hide my feelings, emotions, cares, love. I didn't even realize that I had any of that until my Sex offender class. I have learned that I am a person, I have a right to feel and show my emotions. That I can love and show love in the RIGHT ways. That I do have control over my life and do not have to control others. I have learned what my needs are and how to meet them in the proper ways. I have learned what my deviant behaviors are and how to avoid them. I have learned what my triggers (red flags) are and how to watch for them. I AM NOT CURED, but I knows ways to prevent and stop my deviant thoughts and behaviors. I would not know these if it wasn't for sex offender classes and my great therapist. I still have a long way to go (the rest of my life) but I can know that as long as I am watching for and guarding against my red flags and triggers, that I can lead a normal life without offending or abusing another child. So to all the other offenders and would be offenders, there is hope, and you DO NOT HAVE TO OFFEND again.
