[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 424759, member: 4264"] Thank you all. I've just read the further responses in this thread and they came at the perfect moment as I woke at 4a.m. from a horrible nightmare and haven't slept since. I kept occupied reading a absorbing novel and drinking tea, and then came to the board to these uplifting messages from you all. I shall picture all of you glaring about and ready to bop people over the head if I find the cameras too rattling. I had hoped that one, I mean ONE, of the people on this list of people he confessed to abusing, might have offered to attend the interview with me. If not to give statements themselves, to at least be supportive to me and perhaps a bit of gratitude that someone is stepping forward to try to stop this insanity. I believe now that they are all paying lip service about this all transpiring, saying what they believe I want to hear while desperately trying to keep their own heads stuck in the sand (and in a few cases, somewhat up their own back ends). While I feel compassion for them all, especially the more elder women, I can't pretend I am not feeling very disappointed and more than a tad angry, that not one has the guts to put their own stories out there in a combined effort to see this man stopped. It seems that they will be needed to dragged into the entire mess by the investigator, which is never a good position to be building a case on. The ridiculous thing is they all agree that if he's charged on multiple counts (hello! File statements! DOH!) he would likely plead guilty to avoid court hearings (I concur in that belief). For now I'll focus on what I do have control over, which is myself and my actions and contributions. I will have to hand the rest of them to a higher power than I, because otherwise I'd be beside myself with anger at some of these people given their supposed support when I get these random phone calls on the topic. (On a side note, the phone has turned deadly silent now that there is a date for this interview). [/QUOTE]
