She doesn't love me anyway.She doesn't love me anyway." "Mandy!! Your mother does love you she just has trouble with her feelings and with your growing up so fast." "She doesn't treat me like Robin's mother treats her." "Your mother would never allow you to dress and act like Robin's mother allow's her to act. Mandy, we have to talk about what you just saw." "Daddy why don't you talk to me like you did when I was little?" John, Mandy's father, still visibly upset that Mandy must have seen and heard his act of self-pleasure.

He knew Robin's question would only lead to either embarrassing revalations or lies he would have live with. "Mandy, when you were a little girl I always told you to tell the truth no matter what. Do you remember?? "Yes, daddy. I remember." "You're right about me not talking to you as much. Mandy I'm about to reveal to you something I didn't think I'd tell anyone. Mandy I have a problem. It is a problem that some men have but not many. I am a pedophile. Do you know what that means??" "No, I don't."

She now knew some thing about her father even her mother didn't know. She knew what he said was BIG even if she didn't know what he said. Mandy listened intently to her father's every word. "Well I think I better start from the beginning. My mother had a baby but didn't have a husband. She was kicked out of the house by her parents. She was alone but still had the strength to find a way to make it and make it she did. |
