Reply #10: I am divided on that.

First, it is something terrible that happened to him, but I think most people in MA will wonder why now? Why not last years or during one of his previous campaigns (when he spoke openly about his stepfathers mistreating him and his mother), or earlier (I have the same reaction as TayTay and Blaukraut concerning previous events).

The only thing is that I dont see what he would have to win with this (this is not something he can he happy to speak about, I cant imagine anybody being happy to), so we will see if this means he is going to become active on these issues, in which case it would be a good thing, otherwise, it is hard for me to understand the timing.

I am also stunned by that.

He says he never told anyone and that even his mother will read about it for the first time in his forthcoming book

Does he really want his mother, wife, and daughters to learn this by the media???
