What to do when you find out that one of the people closest to you is something you are 100% against, and hate with a burning passion? In my case, a pedophile. The person is family, so it's not like I can just avoid my family that easily. Said, "It's in our nature!" for fucks sake!

Wow, that's absolutely horrible and I'm really sorry that you are experiencing this.  I know it can be really difficult to go through what you're going through.  I've experienced a situation which is fairly similar to the one you are going through.  A close family member of mine does stuff that I'm 100% against.  So I sort of know how you're feeling.

Being a pedophile is such a horrible thing.  Like you, I am 100% against these types of people.  I know it will be hard to avoid your family but you really have to try.  Just because this person is in your family, it doesn't mean that you cannot express your own opinion on their behaviour.  If you really don't agree with the actions/words of a family member, you have the right to speak up and say so.

I know it can be hard to do sometimes because the person is family.  However, you really do have to try.  Just be strong and stick to your guns.  Don't let anyone influence you to think otherwise because you are truly thinking the right way.  You are entitled to your own opinion about a person - no matter who they are.

Don't ever believe that is it in your nature to do what your family member is doing.  Pedophilia is a sick thing to do and it's so, very wrong.  You are thinking the right way, trust me.  Try to avoid this particular family member as much as you can.  I know it can be extremely difficult to do so, but you really have to try.  

If you cannot avoid this person, for instance, if it's your father or something, then avoid the topic.  You cannot change who people are - despite how wrong their actions may be.  In order for a person to change, they have to be willing to change themselves or else the attempt to change them will be a failure.  Just try avoiding as much contact as you can with the person and refrain from bring up any topics of the sort.

Remember, you're doing the right thing.  Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.  Be strong and stick to your beliefs.  

Good luck!

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
I've become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you.
