Dad groomed an almost Child and the almost Child is to blame?

    My interpretation was that the intent is to punish the dad. When his (presumed) daughter dates someone his own age, he'll realize how fucked up it is.

    Not primarily, but if my parent cheated on another parent with someone around my age: we scrapping regardless of who's more to blame.

    so dad's dead so it's not really an issue anymore, and as far as any of us know both he and mom were faithful to each other. but if my parents wanted to cheat that's none of my business. if they chose to cheat with someone my age, that's everybody's business.

    Now that you mention it, if my parent cheated with someone their age, I could probably see myself doing something morally grey in response, too.

    I have an ex whose dad cheated on her mom while her mom was pregnant. Can't imagine the emotional rollercoaster from that.

    Almost child? The age gap with someone who's presumably in their 50's is weird as hell (especially when their own child is OLDER THAN THEM!!) but a 20 year old isnt a child.

    The brain develops until a Person is about 25.

    18 is the age the government decided on arbitrarily.

    I for one differentiate adults and kids based on their cognitive abilities, not on an arbitrary number the Epstein class wants to lower to an even more disgustingly Low number.

    So i think almost Child is adequate.
