When I was in middle school, I was sexually molested by some adults in my family. I've also received death threats & further assaults from one of these people, which police have supported & contributed to more than once.

oh the root is definately cultural, but I feel almost primal in a negative way. A friend was recently telling me about a book theyre reading, written in 300BCE, and in it, is a chapter about "resisting the temptation of young boys" and it's grotesque, and barbaric. I feel the same for war and violence.

I dont understand your situation, and that's okay, I can still say, as the saying goes, one cannot pour from an empty cup. you wont beable to help others effiecently without first making sure you, yourself, are okay, safe and able. It isnt selfish to take care of your own needs on a basic level, prior to helping others. You can't pour from an empty cup.

take care, im sorry your situation is like this. Stay safe
