I'm not condoning him suing for money. Not once did I say anything about him deserving money. I don't like talking about what happened to me over and over and over again because I'm still not past it. So maybe I am a little angry at the thought of people being so dismissive of this man's claims.
I used to see one of my abusers every day on Facebook, interacting with family as if nothing ever happened. I was 7 years old when it first happened. When he took me into his room and asked me if I wanted to play a game. When he told me that what we were doing was ok because he loved me and I could trust him. The one time we were almost caught, he played it off like we were wrestling and I backed up his story. I didn't say anything when I had the chance. And you know what, it continued. And the more it continued the further he went. When the ****er had the audacity to request me as a friend on FB I lost my ****. I still haven't told my family because I don't want to have to deal with "Why didn't you say anything sooner."
This is not something I find amusing or even in the realm of making jokes. People get ****ed up because of this; leading to patterns of bad choices in relationships and self hatred. So please, with all do respect, shove that smiley.
If he feels like money will help him, then so be it. No one knows if he'll start a foundation to help other survivors.
