[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 654993, member: 17461"] Abusers abuse because they are abusers. There is no other reason. It is good to realize abuse is the impersonal thing it is. No guilt, no shame. It is hard to believe people like this ~ people who are cowardly, and who abuse those who cannot, by any definition, protect themselves ~ actually committed the acts they have been accused of. It's like the beheadings happening, today. They aren't even ashamed of themselves, because they have convinced themselves they have some right to take another person's life. Same thing. Good. It is a strangeness that we don't want these terrible things to be true. Surely, this cannot be part of what it is to be human. Surely, we are better than this. I have not been through what this person has been through. But I have been targeted by someone taken in rage. The frightening thing is that you don't know, until you are still alive, that you are going to live or to die. More later. Cedar [/QUOTE]
