And, unfortunately, it's a problem everywhere. I know so many people who have suffered this kind of abuse or child abuse or sexual abuse as adults, it's mind boggling. As a kid and teenager, I knew others who committed suicide due to that trauma. I know others who didn't do that but still harbor the ghosts of those horrors inside.
One of my closer relatives was abused from about the time she was 4 to 10 years old by her Biological Father and nobody in my family knew until she was in her 20s.
She is not well now and has the mindset of a teenager in her 30s. She started remembering what happened to her in her late teens and had screaming night terrors for years.
It's awful.
I've also unfortunately had conversations with friends who were abused by Adults in their youth in a Church setting.
They are also not well overall.
It ruins peoples lives before they've even had a fair chance and they just have to live with guilt and shame and trauma and carry on as best they can.
It's sickening to me what we as a nation tolerate because it's uncomfortable and inconvenient.
Sex Trafficking/Kidnapping and Pedophilia and Mass Homelessness are some of the biggest plights and stains on this Country.
I really could not care less about people from Canada or Mexico or wherever stepping across an imaginary demarcation line without the appropriate paperwork looking to survive.
America needs to wake up and get it's priorities straight.
I mean my God one of Epstein's closest friends/associates is the President. A lecherous odious man with a history of documented inappropriate comments and actions in the presence of women and underage girls.
Over half of the country idolizes him.
We are SICK.
