We had a rather traumatic experience last week where we found out that the father of one of our kid's best friends was arrested in July and just sent to jail last week for a long time due to some pretty horrific child sex crimes. Someone I saw almost every day until recently. 1/3

Not sure what I'm hoping to gain from this thread other than some catharsis, which lockdown has made particularly challenging 3/3
