It has been on my mind a lot especially because of so much sexual harassment happening, recent violent attack, in our Canadian Parliament , which certainly does not surprise me. What is disturbing is how so many women do not report, because of the way the justice system and how our society blames the victim and are not believed.<br /><br />I was one of those women who didn't go to the police and report, which I do regret to this day. I spent many years in counselling, learning about the cycle of abuse and understanding how most people still love the abuser, if it is a partner, which was my situation. Most of those in a relationship just want the abuse to stop, and still care and love their partner. There was too much water under the bridge, for us and we were not suited.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08478520659409723872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2079858485717808199.post-49891488817328819792014-11-14T20:57:50.267-05:002014-11-14T20:57:50.267-05:00Thank you Ellen for your kind words.
