health: again…maybe i have to say it until it sinks in…i disagree and disapprove with what she believes and does, but i understand why she does it. i didnt say i justify it, i didnt say i condone it, i said i understand it. get off your soap box.

where you see a rasha who is the scum of the earth, i see someone with a hard life who is making a mistake. where you see someone who should, perhaps, be stoned, i see someone who should be invited for a shabbos. where you see a vindictive with, i see a victim. yep…a victim. we all know how sexual abuse and mental illness are treated in our community, and i have no doubt that she suffered everything i suffered and more.

again…what she did was wrong, nevertheless it is important to understand in order to, at the very least, prevent it from happening again.
