    rank all the crimes and then give relative sentences. In the rankings include torture, sexual torture, kidnapping, rape of children, hijacking a plane, slavery, terrorism.

    Years ago rape used to be a capital crime, ie, people were sentenced to death for rape. When that sentence for rape was reduced to imprisonment the murder rate went down. When everything has a severe sentence there is nothing to stop criminals from committing the worst crimes.

        if i could guarantee they’d receive long/life sentences, i’d take my ex and my pop to court for some of that. but as it stands, it’s just not in my favour to retraumatise myself only for them to be released in under a decade.

        Honestly, I feel you. Especially since my abuse doesn’t have any physical evidence. Except the physical evidence is me. It’s just not worth it going through the courts to either get them to believe in me, not only that but re-traumtising myself AND having to see my abuser? He left for a bloody reason. There’s no way in hell I’m ever seeing him again and he makes it out alive.

        Big hugs. The choice is yours.

        ( And it’s so difficult to prove some crimes too, that makes it so difficult )

        I would love to take my father to court for what he did to my brother. 😔 But damn, in the long run the everyday type dysfunction was just as destructive of life as violent attacks
