So just to confirm, you are confident that you never said your daughter had 'learned a lesson' with regard to your misunderstanding that led to you mangling your roomie? (you know the one where you thought she said he touched her). You are also confident in dismissing me instantly as a liar, rather than consider you may have said that at some point?

Absolutely.
I mangled the room mate to protect my daughter. Child molesters are filth.
There was no need for my daughter to to learn that kind of lesson at that age.
I may have said smthg about teaching the child molester a lesson.
Are you a liar? Hmm... your mind is too slippery to completely dismiss your own belief in the things you say.
But what you say is incorrect. I had no desire to lord some kind of power over my helpless toddler at the time that I mangled my roommate for hurting her.
"0_o The post about my daughter was on another thread... but anyway... That guy wasn't a hookup. He was a room mate, and he didn't abuse me. I don't allow men to abuse me, thank you.
Every time I had any man in my house for any reason, I asked her about him. I gave her the speeches about being touched down there from the time she was old enough to talk. I asked if this guy did and she said yes.
She told me years later that she frequently told me yes when I kept asking her the same question over and over. She didn't know what I was asking her. She was too young. She only remembers the incident bc of the broken glass... cops, ambulance, etc. I guess she learned a lesson that day about saying yes without hearing the question."
So I stand corrected about the actual words I used.
However, it would seem that you're still mistaken about the interpretation.
Precisely what do you think it means for a parent to teach their kids?
You used the word "blame" in chat earlier.
Do you think that books and classrooms are horrid places full of blame and derision?
That children can only learn by suffering?
It may surprise you to learn that assimilating knowledge usually happens with little to no emotional investment, and is often fun for the person learning.
Where do you get 'blame' out of that statement?
