hello everyone.
2 years ago my father was caught/convicted of looking at child P! & is now a RSO.
The family & I had no idea of the situation until the day conviction became public knowledge, a harsh way for everyone to find out.
What was worrying was that he had known about the charge for 2 years & hidden it.

It was clear that the story my parents relayed was watered down, borderline deniel, so when facts came to light that was not the case
 
My father psycologically manipulated my mother for sometime.
Shes a very innocent & loving old lady, one who couldnt comprehend what he'd done but also just didnt understand how anyone could search/obtain that type of thing on "that internet thing".

He had her convinced it was a one off mistake & it somehow it got onto computer.

Me being of the digital age knew too well this wasnt how this really went down.

My manipulatied mother became his safety net as she stood by him.
He never once got her any professional help, he just wanted her beaten down mentally, believing him & of course solitary, so he could hide behind her nievity.  

Over time its clear she was being further manipulated & nobody could get through to her.

After concerns for her safety people have stepped in.

It came to light that this charge was only an indication as to how long hed been viewing it. 
Reality has now hit mum & emotionally its just too much for her.

She just cant process it all, we're getting her professinal help but its so hard. 

I just dont know what to do or say to her?
