If, however, we continue to incarcerate abusers and other offenders, these types of things cannot happen and therefore the abuse victim not only has to deal with the fact that he or she was abused, but all the ramifications it caused in his or her life, as well as the stigma that goes with it. Basically, making the victim...the criminal, while the criminal gets jail. Yea, jail sounds bad...but it is getting to be cushy enough, I know people here where I live talk about how "it's (jail) is better than living here"

Yes, it took me some time to connect the dots, but I did get it when I wrote my post.
I was personally abused by 2 people who were my best friends. I allowed them to be angry with me, yet I never did anything about their angers. No boundaries, just an attempt to be a listener and understand. I was there for them in their good and bad times. But then I started noticing they've been diminishing my worth. So the relationships turned into leave and return and leave, from my side.
The problem however, is I am left with toxin feelings in my belly, and was tempted to worthlessness and suicidal thoughts. Life has been left in ruins. I got to know overtime how selfish and ****** they were.
Of course I can help myself through therapy. Too bad no friend can help. Not even my parents can help (sometimes I just think they just don't care).
But really, people have **** in them, yet I feel like a bag full of **** because of those kind of people.
That's why I want a mental health police. Going to therapy, psychiatry or both is not enough. It's time people take good responsibility for their behaviors and stop with the toxicity. So long as therapists say "You can't change people" or "People have the right whether to seek therapy or not", the toxic people who hurt roam about, hurting more and more people and making reality seem increasingly hopeless.
