Saying out loud

Hey @Nw

I haven't sought legal representation for the events in my past, but I do know someone who has.

Please be advised that I don't know how much you've looked into it and I in no way want to dissuade you from seeking justice and healing through the means that are safest for you.

From what I understand it's important to weigh up the likelihood of a conviction or pay-out (depending on your circumstances) with the viability of evidence and/or witnesses given it is an historical event, and the importance of your personal growth and wellbeing. It is likely to be re-traumatising and taxing mentally and physically.

I would probably ask whether you are prepared to revisit the incident/s i.e. do you have a strong support system, coping strategies, personal emergency plan etc?

It's an incredibly brave thing to consider and I truly hope you can find the right way forward for you. 🤍

@Nw you have made me think of my own situation. i have apologised here some months ago which i thought was fitting however, i also have to live with my actions of many years ago. some of which i dont know tbh i can only guess because of what has been told to me by others... what merges into my memory and then fades away again. i have decided to say nothing more so that my closest dont get hurt. it would destroy those i love and for what point to get a weight off my chest? no far better it stays with me. it is something i live with daily and will so forever.
