While I can understand the empathy and concern for the wife, the situation is much bigger than her and any potentially maladaptive paradigms she might have to keep up appearances.

Codependent? That is an interesting take. I don't mind the disagreeing....you do have some valid points, but yeah....I don't think you are quite pickin up what I am laying down.
I read the OP again. And I think I missed the part about him being a pedophile. I think I thought it said that he was sure he wasn't. I think I could perhaps revise my remarks. Perhaps going to the bishop would be a good thing. But I would hope that the mother would be prepared before hand.
