I have no idea why MedHelp would X out the word "*********" from my post. but that is what had been written there. Sorry,

I agree with remar that therapy should be your next stop.

I have no idea why you would have these particular thoughts at this time.

I'm not a psychiatrist, far from it, but I do believe that pedophiles are born, just as gay people are born. It's NOT a choice. It's who they are. I am very certain you would have known, years ago, that you had "unnatural" thoughts about children. I don't believe that a person simply wakes up one morning and discovers that during the night, they morphed into a *********.

Therapy will help you sort out these disturbing thoughts and it's my guess they have a very innocent root cause.

I wish you the best so you can get back to being the happy family you were.
Peace

I would recommend getting in to counseling right away.
