My dad did something similar, although not nearly as horrific or extensive in scope. I don't talk to him today, but it tears my apart with guilt. It's so easy for me to see that you are not the one who should be suffering. Please don't feel you killed your dad. He made his own choices.

I see where you're coming from, but I disagree that it would come as a surprise to many/most people living in the "developed world" for lack of better words, that 100 years US/Europe was really backward.

Are you kidding me? It completely turns romance stereotypes on their head. It's pretty much the only romance I can read without feeling that I am drowning in a honey trap.
