It's a weird combination of feelings and hard to deal with. But I think you're right. I can remember the good and realize that some people can be filled with good and evil at the same time. One doesn't negate the other... Also, what's the name of the book you're talking about? It sounds like something I'd like to read. @6ft5: Thanks.

I don´t think you should feel guilt though for missing the good person you knew. I read a great book recently about a Swedish artist who had a tuff upbringing. The only good person around him was his grandmother who encouraged him in his art and offered a sanctuary when his parents were mean. Later he realized she was a nazi. He wrote beautifully about good and evil and how someone can be a saint (like she was to him) and a beast at the same time. Sorry about loosing a friend.

I feel for you I found out the same thing about a very close family member not to long ago. My opinion on child abuse has changed quite a bit since reading about the guy who started acting inappropriate to females and children. Turns out he was growing a brain tumor. The tumor was removed and his behavior went back to normal. mabey a year or so later he started being creepy again to his step daughter. Turns out the tumor had returned. I feel like we as a society will never mend this problem untill we start treating it like a medical issue. Not all cases mind you some situations are beyound reason. anyway thats my musing on the issue, sorry you have to go through such a conflict in your head. Dude it is a very complex issue.

And whilst it does indeed colour (and imo should) your current opinion of him, you had no idea at the time. There should be no guilt in remembering the good times with him, only regret at what he turned into. As bad as it is to say, the child molester part of him was only a part.

I think if anything it shows how different people can be from how you know them, no matter how well you think you do. Don't suppress good memories, they are what make you the way you are today.

I guess I'm lucky for the fact that I knew the molester in question and have no such mixed emotions about him. Yeah I have a very homogeneous block of disgust sprinkled with a lack of surprise. On the other hand, the other fella we both knew who was a registered sex offender was a bit of a shocker. Sorry you feel that way, Mr. Ape.
