My t taught me the most valuable words I'd ever heard: "Restorative Justice"
This is what you did; this is how it made me feel.
It does NOT matter what the abuser/perpetrator says thinks or does.
IT ONLY MATTERS what you (the injured) thinks about what was done to you.
I think it is the most powerful thing you can do to perform restorative justice.
ESPECIALLY for those of us (I am one, also) who was abused for such a long time.
To me, to say nothing when someone is inappropriate, cruel, etc., etc.....is like saying the abuse was okay. No one stood up for us as children, but as adults, we NOW can stand up for ourselves
