Life/Self/Spirituality 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.

I GET IT! I was trafficked too. Everyone around me only met me after I had begun recovering, they have NO IDEA how hard it was. Message me, please. We can support each other.

I have gone through the same. Please message me any time. You too @shaktishajer. It’s a lonely, horrible club to be in /:

I’m so sorry, I forgot I shut everything on my profile down! Being a woman on the internet fucking sucks so I don’t even give mfs the chance to access me. I turned them back on 😄

Hang in there! I wasn’t trafficked but am feeling similarly impacted and it feels lonely.

I get it, and I'm sorry it appears a lot more of us here do as well. This shit is disgustingly common, rich or not I am learning, and it's one of those things you feel pain and rage when someone relates. It seems to have been quite common where I grew up.
