*Trigger warning* George Pell

*Trigger warning* George Pell

Hi everyone

I know this will be a trigger for some and I’m really sorry. The last thing I want to do is upset anyone.

I just need to vent my anger.

After hearing today that George Pell is sentenced to 6 years jail I am so angry.

I was sexually abused as a child but not by the Catholic Church.

But today I’m feeling a mixture of emotions - sad, anger, frustration.

Im very angry at the decision the judge has made. Six years is a joke. How can the judge make this decision?

He (George Pell) has totally ruined the victims lives forever. The memories will always be with them.

I’m really sad fir the victims. I don’t know how to express my sadness. It’s a sad day.

Yes he did get jail but I feel nit long enough.

I hope he suffers badly. Whst he did to those poor boys as innocent children was disgusting and he used his priesthood to take advantage of these children.

I do understand and empathise with these survivors as I am a survivor also if childhood sexual abuse.

Nithing he can say will take away what he did. I hope he suffers in jail all alone.

If if anyone needs any support pls contact Blue Knot 1300 657 380

love snd hugs to all childhood sexual abuse survivors ❤️❤️❤️

We are strong, we have survived

broken or not we are still here

@BlueBay

It is good to "see" you and read your post.

I got a better offer today and went with son to a friend's place, otherwise I would have gone to the court again.

I would turn in circles as I examined all the aspects of the situation and drive myself totally insane. Pell probably will get plenty of visits by people who convince themselves he is innocent. I saw him talk to one the other day.

I am not triggered, my son was glad I did not go to the sentencing, its a sign of me letting go.

Actually I am triggered a little, but I am so glad I heard it from a friend first, rather than just reading news.

Thank you BB

I hope you are alright.

Had a beautiful walk this morning with support walkers and did a few practical jobs.

I hope you are travelling as well as possible.
