Sometimes...
I really think you are my twin or something...
:-)(Well, not so good for you really, but nice to not feel so alone... I hope you get what I mean)
Sorry about getting a bit wound up...
I'm doing alright now.
I guess I just wanted to say that it was good (in a funny kind of way) to get some of that out there...
(Never have said that to anybody before...)Declan...
Yeah.
That is really interesting...
I would like to talk about that more...
MUST DO THESIS!!!
But I would like to talk about that more...Because...
Yeah, it is hard.
I don't condone people doing those things...
Not at all
Nope
But it is interesting...
About how some offenders say that they did it out of love etc
And yeah, that is a bit messed up...
But sometimes...
You can kind of see where they are coming from...
Which is not to condone it at all...
Just to point out that there is a difference between violent assault and the other kind of thing...
And it is interesting that people are considered 'monsters' rather than messed up...
And it is interesting that considering them to be 'monsters' shifts the burden of responsibility to the offending individual...
Which leads us to pass over the social factors that contribute etc etc...
And it is hard...
It is really very hard.
There is a whole heap more to 'abuse' than gets typically talked about...
And... I guess I don't consider what happened to me to be abuse because...
I was willing.
But I guess...
Its not a black and white issue.Though for the next two weeks it is a FORGOTTEN issue
I swear...Going now...
:-(
