I've gone through a lot over the past year and I've openly shared it, probably to the annoyance of some here. I've been having a lot of memories come back from my hyper religious childhood - alcoholism, abuse, etc.
As stated in the title, my father (the alcoholic) used to lie in bed (clothed and above covers for what it's worth) and squeeze out my pubescent older sisters' blackheads. I think my sister wanted him to do it - she was a perfectionist with appearance and a "daddy's girl". My mom eventually stopped it.
As a 35 year old man (no kids though), I can't imagine doing this to another person, much less a teenage girl. My perspective on it now is going to dark places...
I did some googling about this, and all I could find was some topics about parents doing similar in /r/raisedbynarcissists.
I know this is really random, but right now I'm just really scared. I need somewhere to put this out and get anonymous feedback.
Edit: I can not see myself, an adult male, lieing on top of a teenage pubescent girl in bed with my face within inches of hers. To me that seems inappropriate. That's the image I see.
Again, I dont have kids.
Edit2: so hopefully some good can come of this thread, I'm not saying my father is a pedophile. I believe pedophilea is wholly different from sexual abuse occurring in an alcoholic home. When someone is drunk all the time, you'll always question their intentions. I say this as a recovering drunk.
