As victims of abuse how do others deal with media reports such as the dreadful outcome of the Russian School Siege? Or last night watching The Bill and the story line about childhood sexual abuse?
I find myself crying for the children and for the parents as far as the siege is concerned, and I always find myself crying for the victims of abuse wherever and however described. I do not know if the grieve is worse because I am also crying for myself, as both my girls (grown up) also cry for victims of any sort of atrocity. Yet we all know people who never see the anguish or feel the pain on behalf of others. Why?
i think that people who don't seem to feel pain on other peoples behalf either hide it really well or have been so damaged that they can't feel anything at all.
the seige was a terrible thing to happen and i feel so sad for those children and the parents who lost their kids, its beyond horrific. sometimes stuff like that overwhelmsme and i don't know what to do with the sadness. i have to remind myself that there are good people in the world like the doctors that helped those children and the parents that love them and people like you who care for them. then itry to do something for myself because im a good person too.
I find that with the Russian story I try to ignore it as much as possible becase of the pain, but then I saw the kids when they came out and was filled with so many emtions anger, pain. mostly anger and disbeilf of how human beings can hurt each other like this, to use kids. I am horrfied!
I remeber watching Frost with the gut who plays Del Boy on only fouls and horses!
It was a case on a child abuser and it went through the whole story the guy kidnaped this boy and they found him unharmed with the abuser. and Frost puched him, and I felt so good. an though who ever wrote that script is wonderful I know it's fictious but it was great and this vision now always enters my mind when I see something relating to abuse. David Jason thats his name remebered it now. He acted so well it was done with so much feeling and anger, and it helped me release my anger to.
I am sorry you having a bad time, be safe and take care of yourself.
