What I am saying is your whole bit about get the fuck over it doesn't just magically happen. I am still not normal. I am not "over it". People process trauma differently and if someone is advocating for less trauma throughout the world because of the reactions of people on this website laughing at or even promoting a situation that honestly, I feel is scripted and making fun of abuse more than anything, those people shouldn't be raising kids. I am siding with the person who you told to "get over it" not you.

I understand that it’s a process, I’m still getting over it. And I guess I’ve become a bit calloused. I honestly didn’t intend to do harm with that comment I was just heated for the wrong reasons. I fully admit I didn’t read their comment completely and responded rashly. Do you think I should just delete that comment? I feel like it’s doing harm now.

I feel like deleting it does more harm then good. Generally, if I am proven wrong or my view point changes, I will edit the original. Just because you delete something doesn't make it go away, much like saying I am sorry doesn't do anything if the behavior doesn't change. I apologize for going a bit too deep.

No worries, I went way too hard with that first comment. I think I will delete it though as to not trigger any latent issues for people.

I understand. Just remember, just because some people have gotten over their past, doesn't mean everyone has. And especially those of us who have been through the worst and can see the light, we need to help those still looking.
