(5,946 posts)where does accepting all children as not being misled or confused? No one is perfect, I don't condemn people without some sort of proof, If I met either protagonist, I would just listen, not judge.
I listen to people a lot. I also dealt with some weird stuff - when my brother was 8 I had some friends to play bridge at one point had to put my brother to bed, He was not happy and fought me. The next day he told my parents I had an orgy while they were gone. He didn't know what an orgy was but thought it would get me into trouble, Didn't work though It was other high school girls and my parents didn't believe him. That was a lie sort of but not because he didn't know what it meant. Does that mean I think Dylan lied - no. Do I think she did not know what it meant when she was 7 - yes, I think she did not know the impact. So I think she absolutely believes it now - yes. But did it happen exactly that way, that is the question.
