Putting myself in your shoes, Buttercup, I might have mixed feelings. Any time someone is sanctioned for abusing a child nowadays, I am glad to see it happen. I want children to be protected. Yet there is still this little voice inside me, asking, "Why didn't anyone protect ME?" I'm only saying this so that you realize, if you feel those mixed feelings, it's perfectly normal. Whatever feelings are there, it's OK. You can be glad it's being dealt with. You can be embarrassed. You can be resentful because people weren't there for you but are protecting someone else. You can feel anything. Or even nothing, for a while.
