“Does not have any effect on the kids..”
I know several people who were sexually abused as children. No effect? It is the exact opposite. One woman had her issues with drug/alcohol abuse (she is sober now) all due to trying to dull the pain of her abuse. Another woman has attempted suicide twice... as a teen and a college student. Yes... she just couldn’t take the “flashback memories” anymore. Another woman has had a difficult time finding a good man. She has dated good men but she distances herself. She can’t let herself get close or fall in love. Why? She loved someone before and look how they hurt her. I pray for the victims of childhood abuse (physical, sexual and emotional) because they are damaged in a way. The idea that some “psychological group” is making all of this sound warm and fuzzy infuriates and sickens me at the same time.
At 6 (in the late 50’s) I was molested by a 14 year old girl. I’ve been married 5 times, lived with several women, and have never been able to really commit. My two brothers, on the other hand, have been married to the same women for 40 and 34 years. They have told me they were never interested in another woman. We were brought up in a Christian home, in church every Sunday. Of course, I have never been interested in a child. I would guess that pretty much sums up what it did to me. It does have a profound effect on the victims. The girl that molested me had been molested from a young age.
I have been happily married for the last 17 years, so I think I’ve finally gotten past it. At the time, and for many years, I didn’t think it had really affected me. But I now think that is what drove my relationships with women. So yes, I would have denied, as the article states. The victims don’t realize what a great effect it has. Look at our society and the promiscuity of our youts, as Rush would say.
Time to declare Jihad on these perverts who are corrupting our society.
It should be legal to shoot these scum and throw them to the gators.
You could say that this “psychological group” is “looking through the glass (mirror) wrongly” as they have a distorted view of what is right, what is wrong and what the meaning of liberty is. To me liberty means the right not to be imposed upon as well as the responsibility not to impose upon. And only a morally good and Godly people can balance as lofty a right as liberty.
