Abuse and abusers:
I just read an article about a man that abused several elderly people in a care home and only got three years.
When abusers are caught - they face silly and very little consequences - that's if it even goes to court at all and they don't get away scot-free!
I left a job for the NHS as I was bullied out of it as a teenager for defending disabled people under our care from staff and our boss who could have triggered an epileptic fit by screaming in the face of a lady with epilepsy in our care.
I have no ulterior agendas.
When I speak out about things it's because I've seen how bad life actually is - I've even lived in the seething abusive underbelly of society - and survived.
I turn my pain into power and I action positive change and I won't apologise for expecting that from others.
No abuse is ever okay. Period.
But our system is a joke and society is even more harmful towards victims of abuse - no wonder many don't feel there's any other way out of this world than unaliving.
You call it attention seeking - they do it to escape people like YOU who judge and ridicule and do good things with ulterior and malicious agendas. You're not authentically good if you only do good for attention whilst you hide your bad.
If we are going to change anything - we need to work together to fix society - fix the system and for some of our own friends, peers and family to self reflect.
Change is hard - but it's necessary.
It's not impossible - if people start owning their own behaviours.
What's definitely clear is that we need more mental health support - so sadists are not made anymore.
We need better and we need to advocate for better - THAT STARTS WITH CALLING OUT YOUR OWN PEERS, FRIENDS, FAMILY WHEN THEY'RE BAD or abusive - it's about time people were unbiased and brave enough to stamp it out - full stop.
