I wish to bring to light that the victims are being focused on when abuse cases are exposed. In reality, the victims may need therapy, but the abusers need even more therapy than the victims need. As a former victim, people think, 10 years may not sound like much. But that ten years consisted of well over one thousand sessions. It was actually closer to one thousand five hundred sessions. If you look into how much a therapist actually charges, you begin to know the extent of damage that one victim is caused by abuse. Most people don’t have one hundred grand to put down to pay for all that therapy. That’s just the therapy aspect. Forget the cost of being maxed out on some six different medications when the doctors finally told me that the only option left in the book was lifelong hospitalization. If I hadn’t begged a certain relative to advocate for me, I would not have a voice today and probably would be dead already. Medication alone matched the price of the therapy. Are the abusers paying $200,000 for damages? Nope. How about loss of financial opportunity? How many years of work was lost to go to that therapy? People have no clue yet and it is not public knowledge how much damage is caused in reality per person that is abused. Think it over. Does it makes sense at all? I think it doesn’t.
