Do you really think that a victim of abuse can just pick themselves up, dust themselves down and move on, forget it? Really? Because if you do, naive is not the word.

I am speechless.

So abuse victims who didn’t come forward years ago should now keep quiet if their abusers are dead or “too old to be a threat”? When is a man too old to be a threat?

Lol nice reply Terry :lol:

Having been involved in a similar thread on another forum recently where I was told by some people that I was very sensible, by others that I was overly pc and by others that I was a racist, I don’t think there’s a right answer to this… :?

Also not sure why women are drawn to wisdom doggerel….My mother was real keen on havng this sort of stuff plastered around the house.

It wasn’t intended to be witty, it was an observation…never mind, I’m sure you amuse yourself.
