Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsBoy howdy, what a morning in clinic!
A sexual abuse victim and a sexual abuser all in one clinic session.
The one was not the abuser of the other, but after leaving the exam room of the abuse victim nearly in tears, I wasn't in the best frame of mind to be Physician Assistant Happy Friendly Guy to the abuser (who was here on a DOC-contract visit, ankle monitor and all...)
Is it the weekend yet?...

Sort of takes any bleeding heart sympathy for perpetrators right out of you. That said, I guess it is important to remember that many offenders were themselves victimized.

(66,087 posts)6. I can appreciate that fact.
I could just never understand why anyone who had those horrors visited upon them would want to inflict them on someone else...

That's got to be one tough morning.
If anyone can handle it, though, you can........
The weekend will soon be here.
Another hug, for good measure:
