The admitted (self or on tape) abusers have been exposed finally. Isn't that the justice we abusees have all dreamed about? So now they can get some therapeutic help like we've had to do. Justice at last. This is a good trigger reminder than no one person is bigger than the law.

Accusing without proof and believing the accusation as a movement without question scares me. That is not justice seeking, but revenge seeking. I've seen 3rd wave (using sexuality to get ahead) feminist turn the tables and sexual harass men in the office without feeling they are doing anything wrong. They call it payback. I call it disrespectful and have called them out and wasn't favored in the process (I'm a 1st wave feminist believing that both men and women deserve respect equally). May those men speak out and equal the scales. This is a 'stay tuned' trigger.

We suffer here on this earth. I've done my share of suffering and have met and dealt with my own malevolence in response to that in the abuser. Then I moved on in doing for me what the abuser didn't do, that of believing and providing self-empathy to myself. This is an ongoing process called maturing, and even though I am in my 70s, I still am challenged everyday to treat myself with compassion and pass it on. My job is to stop victimized thinking, which delays the journey work of getting on with my life--that of NOT abusing myself.

Democracy is messy in that we have beliefs and influences in various stages. Beats the alternative of Marxism utopia where one has to perform as a group with no individual beliefs or else be punished. Trust breaks down. Freedom is having voice in speaking our individual beliefs and allowing the same. However, accusations need evidence under the law or else is called slander/libel.

Interesting times we live in.
