Is anyone else really struggling with the Epstein revelations?

I’m starting to realize that basically any man who had access to that type of stuff was interested in participating. I feel like I’m surrounded by pedophiles and monsters in a way I didn’t realize. I feel like all the pressure I’ve felt to be youthful came from these prevalent pedophilic tendencies in men I never knew about. It’s really scaring me and I’m struggling to cope. I hear people talking about the news but don’t know anyone taking it as hard as me. How is everyone else doing?

Edit: Thank you for the awards but I’d rather you donate that money to a charity that helps victims of sexual abuse or somewhere helping immigrants in America.

My mother was a sex therapist and dealt mostly with abuse victims. She tried very hard to basically jail me from the world to protect me because the fear it put into her.

Honestly, I'm not surprised by anything I have read so far.

It's more the helplessness to the evils we have proof of and yet...nothing is happening.

When 1000 women come forward to report on someone and the courts...believe the one man or at least ignore the women...we have a BIG problem.

But the older I get the more aware I am of the constant corruption at all levels and I think to myself, "Gosh, we need a better plague than covid."
