I'm sorry, I don't think my mom raping little girls(myself included) is so innocent as having the f-ing flu.
Are you kidding? The flu? I have mental illness, and instead of taking it out on those around me, I seek help and take medications and go to therapy. Because I'm responsible for my actions even with mental illness.
Compassion for a woman who had two daughters in order to trap men, failed at it, and left both of us with other people to raise us, only stepping into our lives rarely and sexualy abusing both us and our cousins nearly everytime she got the chance... compassion is us not seeking revenge, taking justice into our own hands.
"if she really is a pedophile" what, do you need the gory details before you can assume she "really is a pedophile"? I'm in no way confused about what she's done. She's a rapist, she's commited sexual crimes of an incestuous nature, and she should be in prison.
And I don't think in terms of sin, I don't believe I have any sort of moral obligation to hate the actions and not the person who took those actions. Crimes aren't punished, the criminal is punished. She has evaded that punishment and I doubt she'll ever pay for her crimes. I just wish her life were over because I don't know how else to find closure.
