Fortunately both Hunter and Talitha are young, and youth brings with it a certain resiliency and adaptability. With the right positive influence from caring adults I think they’ll both be fine, as well as Tanya, Kaleb, and Benni. It’ll be an odd family dynamic, but many of the best families I’ve ever seen were the least orthodox. Richard Bach had something of the right of it in his book, ‘Illusions: Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah’; I do paraphrase, “What links a true family is not a bond of blood, but one of joy and respect in each other’s lives.

That’s pretty much what I was afraid of. It’s now Hunter’s responsibility to be kind to and probably share space with his abuser, and if he can’t, then he’s not being a ‘big boy’. Which probably will have negative consequences. And she IS his abuser. She was certainly abused by her father, but she is now Hunter’s abuser. That is intensely unfair to Hunter.
Colin, you are a horrible father.
Frankly I’m not seeing it that way. Talitha honestly didn’t know what she was doing at the time was wrong, so it wasn’t malicious like what her father was doing to her. She didn’t know she was hurting Hunter, or that it was actually possible for a girl to hurt a boy. Now, however, she has been made aware of such being the case. The fact she knows now changes a lot of things. The way I’m reading it, Colin is explaining that Hunter shouldn’t hold someone’s ignorance against them, while also stating that if the problem persists now that… Read more »
No, I disagree that Colin is a horrible father. He’s a single dad doing the best he can, and at this point his world’s been rocked as he’s still dealing with Tanya being raped. Only a few hours have passed since the event, and if anything, he’s in a state of shock. It’s all too easy and I see far too many people condemn others for the decisions they make when under extreme duress and stress. He may alter his decision after he’s had a chance to assimilate the barrage of information and shock, but right now I’d say Colin’s… Read more »

Hunter” “Okay. But she isn’t goin-ta eat my tacos, is she?”
You know, I could actually see him saying that at some point in this discussion.
That portion was ‘off-screen’!
