Wow, I am seriously worried about how you see yourself. I, as the parent of a victim, understand the rage of a parent and the want to take out the perp but......the only way I can understand the law being okay with it is if the parent really acts in a one time insane moment with a complete lapse of judgment and even then it's sketchy. That is a tough one to prove and just about anyone who commits a crime should use it then since all crimes are based on poor judgment and decision making. I know it isn't easy to be who you are. The impulse factor is a difficult feeling to overcome but you can do it. You are in control of yourself. A one time feel good experience that will lead nowhere and destroy your life isn't worth your self respect and dignity (yes, you need to find those again!!). I think the key thing is to have restraint in your actions because you know it is the right thing to do, fully understand all of the consequences of your actions (which it seems you do) and you have given it a lot of thought before impulsively acting out. I'm not saying it's easy by any stretch....it's the same as putting an addict in a store filled with booze and cocaine and saying you have a one day free pass.....go do it up. Kids are everywhere. Is the false love relationship you have with a child worth destoying your life over and over again?? No, I don't believe that you think that. You are already self loathing....if you act out, I fear you will take yourself out just because your feelings about being a monster are reaffirmed each time you act. Your mind is yours. You control it and you control what you do......never forget that. I am not a big fan of BS mental diagnoses. The only mental illness I actually believe exists is schizophrenia. It actually has physical manifestations in the brain detectable by PET scan which justify the hallucinations, etc. Anything else is likely due to hormone imbalances, trauma or mental retardation. What happens when you try to form adult relationships?? Don't you have any common interests with other adults....hobbies, interests, sports, etc.
