I was told this by my spouse after 27 years of marriage. He did have a tragic childhood. Alcoholic father who was supposedly kicked out of the house by his mother. My spouse's mother died when he was ten. He went to live with a crazy, really evil older half-sister and her even more evil husband. My husband became an altar boy while living with them. He told me he was sexually abused by the priest. He said the priest was not cruel but his half sister and her husband were. He eventually told them what the priest was doing to him. The half-sister told him he was a lying sinner. Her huband told him if he did those things for the priest then he could do them for him also. The half-sister's husband abused him physically, sexually and enjoyed being cruel to him. Incidentally the biological kids from that couple were all tragic endings. A succeesful suicide by the daughter. A schizophrenic son. I think the Dad abused them all and the mother allowed it.
