He goes away 1 or 2 nights a week for business, always interested in what I do and in his past he had to look after his younger siblings as his parents were nice people but not good parents. And also it turns out his cousin was a paedophile who abused my aunt when she was little (he might have done something to my dad, uncle and other aunt but I'm not sure).I ask because I saw a picture of him with a rugby team (his company were sponsoring them) and they were about 15 (he wasn't touching any of them.I know I sound paranoid but I just wanna be sure if he is or isn't.

Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A
reader, anonymous, writes (23 December 2006): If anything...Dad may have been exposed to sexual abuse and is overly cautious, overly protective of you and his asking questions; which have become intrusive on your side of life...is his way of assuaging his fears.
And paeodophilia isn't transmitting on a genetic level but rather by warping someone's sense of wrong and right and therefore clouding over or erroding someone's view of what is acceptable behaviour.
If you have any true concerns, start talking to Mom or an adult you trust in and can see as being reliable.
Other than him asking questions; why else would you begin to believe your Dad is suspect?
It sounds like there is alot of fear and this topic of discussion needs to be addressed ASAP.
Please talk to MOm about your concerns and fears. If your conversation with Mom proves unsatisfactory...then talk to someone in your family or maybe even see a Counsellor.
Best Wishes Sweetie.
Your concerns are valid.

I don't know why you would be having these paranoid thoughts about your Dad just because he travels for business and is interested in you and your doings, which is the sign of a good parent....if you are worried about the effects his cousin had on him or if he did, why don't you ask him to tell you about it because it bothers you a bit.

 Well nothing you've said suggests that he is. If that's all you're going on then I doubt that he is.
