High probability he himself was sexually abused as a child
yes. not good
That's certainly possible.However,I can't see how that really explains anything.For example,my cousin grew up in a household where his father (my "uncle-in-law") had a serious alcohol problem.He said that many of the particularly bad things that happen is such homes didn't happen in his but he said it was still pretty difficult.He told me that,having watched his father,he vowed when he was 8 never to drink booze.And 60+ years later he's kept that promise.No booze...no drugs.
I couldn't talk about it with anyone else. He was my best friend and my boyfriend, but only rarely would he ever actually bring it up: "Do you have those dreams often?" or, "Did you sleep through the night okay?" The nights that he wasn't there, I would chug bottles of NyQuil that I kept next to my bed to induce a coma-like sleep, free of nightmares.
My psychologist at the time found a way to bring this up during every session, trying to get me to acknowledge the wrongness of the situation since my PTSD had begun to accelerate. She dubbed my behavior "extremely self-destructive" and explained that I was putting myself in precarious situations to assert some sense of control.
Sometimes, when you feel like your life is falling apart, quickening the inevitable descent into pariahdom seems like the only thing left to do.
So, raping 2-year-olds was part of his therapeutic but "inevitable descent in pariahdom".
