They could just target me and reoffend over and over and nobody would stop them, because nobody would believe me. Just like when I was a child. I can't take this. I can't live if not even the law will protect me. I can't do this anymore. The fear, the vulnerability.
((LydiaB)) - I'm so sorry this is upsetting you and I don't like to hear referrences like 'fat chick' either....the same way we wouldn't like to see a race objectified in this way. I certainly would hope our justice system is better than that and I hope it wouldn't matter if a person was thin or overweight - the pain is still the same.

If the thread is upsetting you - you can report the thread or you can say how you feel and perhaps this would tone down the descriptive references.
