Restoritive Justice

[Meadowsweet]

@Hashi, yes, I think you're probably right when it comes to people with PTSD.

Even in my imagination, I only ever imagine myself telling those who've enabled the abuse to happen how I feel and how their actions hurt. I never bring the abuser to mind that way ever. I don't think of him, imagine him, talk to him in my head, get angry with him, or anything.

I've never noticed this before. I wonder if my equivalent to restorative justice would be to find words to say to him or confront him in my head to imagine myself facing him. Does anyone do this?

Would writing a letter help you? Just a thought.

Maybe gizmo. It seems I just can't bring myself to face the thought of him at all. To write a letter, i would have to think of him and connect to what I do feel about him.

I'm only just realising how much him, as well as other abusers are blocked out of my brain.
