I'm 13f and my second grade teacher, who I really really liked got charged with sexual abuse. I don't want to believe it but at the same time I know it's true. I even know the guy who was abused. It's always desturbing when it's someone you know and trust, but I don't understand why I'm so confused about this.

It is hard to let go of the trust when the abuse was not directed at you. It is better to disbelieve than think your instincts could be so wrong about someone.

therocketsummer answered Wednesday April 6 2005, 10:05 pm: It's kind of like when someone you are really close to passes away, it's so sad and unreal you don't want your mind to believe it. Nothing's wrong with that at all you just don't want to grasp the truth. It's always harder to believe what's acutally going on than to believe the truth, because it's always harder for us to understand. Understand <strong>why</strong> exactly your teacher did this, you probably will never know, but you've got to understand what happened and what did not. What didn't happen was what you are wanting to believe did. Phew. Lemme explain that a little differently. What didn't happen- Your teacher <strong>did not</strtong>, NOT sexually assult another student. You want to believe that is true. This is probably really confusing, but I tried my best ♥ [ therocketsummer's advice column | Ask therocketsummer A Question ]
