no, blaming yourself is easier. It is called codependency. you think that if you would just try a little harder everyone would be nice.
it is harder to be a grownup. to require people take responsibility for their OWN actions.

Over simplifying things is to be "grown-up"? Well, not in my book. Sorry.

there are literally thousands of websites and organizations that state that pedophilia is not curable. regardless of what the anti age limit people say.

good I am glad we agree. Blaming yourself for other peoples misbehaviour is simplistic.

If you see trying to understand a problem, rather than dismissing it as "evil", as "blaming yourself", that´s your problem and not mine.
If you cant' see that treating people as if you are in control of them is condescending and robs them of any chance of fulfilling their own potential, that's YOUR problem..and unfortunately we ALL have to live with the results.
