I am a white English man in my early seventies, who was raised middle class, but has mostly done working class jobs. I have a warm genetic family and a warm chosen family, with step grandchildren and close friends. I was lonely and unhappy from late childhood, when I realised I was a paedophile. Since my successful treatment my life has been on an upward trend. I am a happy man. It is 50 years since I shed my paedophilia, but I still strongly identify with paedophiles.
