That Monster is Someone I Once Loved

Below is a link to news story that is so heinous you'll think What a horrible monster! How could someone do such horrible unspeakable things?! When I read stories like this it makes me mad I hope the asshole rots in hell or better yet get what's coming to him in jail from all his new room mates.

But this story is a little different for me. A few days ago a friend of mine from college called and said she had news about our friend Stephen. My first thought was oh god he's dead. Then she said the words I couldn't believe what she was saying. I immediately opened my laptop and googled his name and there was his picture along with all the news articles. My heart sunk. How could this be?
I read the articles all the horrible articles of our dear friend doing all of these horrible thing to these poor children.

This monster had been my friend during college we hung out on a regular basis. I cat sited for him, I truly loved and trusted him as much as any of my other close friends during that time of my life. Last time I saw him was 2005 when I helped him move. I was pregnant at the time. I haven't really spoken with him much over the last 10 years aside from a few emails. I shared my life with him through facebook, myspace, and emails just like I did with all my family and friends.  I just don't understand how the man in that story is someone I once loved, someone whom I would have left with my son with, without a second thought.
