Sexual assault..

My husband and I were talking last night and his parents have these friends that they’ve been friends with for years. Well, they’re friends are gay and one of them isn’t doing good at all. So they’ve been talking about going up to see the partner because the partner is just having a rough time with things and the thought of losing his husband which anyone would be.

Last night my husband got super quiet and said that he didn’t know any different. So I questioned him of him knowing they were married and he said no. It was then I just got this sick, uneasy feeling in my stomach. So I just waited for him to let it out because I could tell he wanted to say more. He said no, of the things they did. I didn’t know any different because he was a kid… that they did things no adult should ever do to a kid and got too touchy etc. I’m just sitting there in shock because how could his parents still be friends with these people. What’s worse is he told his parents years later and they are still friends…

So of course I’m there for him and hugged him and just was there with him in the moment. He associates gay people now with what they did which I told him no, they are pedophiles. That doesn’t have to do with who they chose to marry. My mind is just running and my heart is so heavy. He didn’t tell me everything and I didn’t press for that.

I trusted his parents with my baby. I just can’t wrap my mind around the fact that they are still friends with his abusers. What do you do in this situation? Ive never been abused by people that close to my family, but by friends and exes that I had trusted. Which isn’t exactly the same thing. I just want him to know he’s not alone and that that was not okay at all.
