Background – Diane Roblin-Lee was married for 38 years without knowing that her husband, 13 years into the marriage, had begun to molest children. One would wonder how that could be possible.
The answer lies in the fact that child-molesters are such highly skilled manipulators that they can fool even a mate with whom they live – and convince a child that keeping the deep dark secret is critically important for both of them.
They are usually so addicted to pornography that acting out the taunting perversions of their porn-soaked brains becomes the driving force of their lives.
Once the fog from the shock, betrayal, and shame of her husband’s crimes began to clear, Diane wondered how any young mom could possibly be expected to protect her children from a predator – if she had lived with one for all those years and not recognized the signs.
Following her divorce, the sale of her home, and the dismantling of their business, Diane immersed herself in research and emerged with the Predator-Proof Your Family Series, breaking the silence in which predators hide. The publishing of this Series of nine booklets is Diane’s way of turning her brokenness, and that of her family, into information and protection for other children and other families.
