Please, please, please add a detailed description to the second video link you posted. I clicked it without knowing what it was and what to expect, and I think I will be haunted for weeks now. This is sick.

People abuse their own kids like this all the time. Not pretty. (And their wives.) Not saying it's Podesta or not, just saying, welcome to the real (sick) world. Edit: Okay, "all the time" wouldn't be the best way to put it.

This is the last uneducated comment I'll make today.... But this has to be an extreme version. It be a lot in the sense that it's still too many... But the majority of kids being abused aren't experiencing it to this extent...RIGHT? I guess there's really no way to know...

Fuck, I'm a fortunate cunt who's never been bullied or abused by anyone, Physically or mentally... And I'm sure the child in this video has endured both.... But I totally understand how people could say the mental abuse is worse than the physical... If I was a kid, and this was happening to me, That would fuck me up more than being hit.... ALthough, if you're willing to abuse kids like this mentally, I'm sure the phyiscal abuse is much worse than "Being hit."

Fuck everything.

No, not at all. That's right. But we all know sick stuff does happen. (Putting out cigarettes on kids, etc.) Some parents will really go overboard and beat their kids, even infants, to death. Etc.

You are SO lucky to have grown up in a good environment. Mine was bad, but no physical abuse, just mental. And public school was a nightmare too. I've got some weird hang-ups because of my experiences.

What's going on in this video is so bizarre (as you say) that it makes me think it's real. (Keep making 'uneducated' comments, they are actually very good.)

Thankfully, I've realized this form a young age so I have truly appreciated it... But this whole scenario Has really highlighted that.

Abuse is abuse, regardless of how traumatic it might be compared to someone else's traumatic experience.... It's still the most traumatic event that person has gone through, and it's going to wire the brain accordingly. I've always cringed when someone tries to minimize the affect of any particular abuse by saying "Well at least it wasn't as bad as BLank or blank."

I would say, "I'm sorry that you had to go through that".... But for some reason I feel like it might be interpreted as insincere, which might be worse... That's not say they shouldn't say that...and they most likely are sincere... I dunno. I just almost feel like it doesn't give the event justice.

It's all bad, non should be rationalized, and it all needs to be addressed in attempt to stop it. Will that ever happen? Probably not... But in 2016 we have the power to truly change behavior and actions that have been running rampant for decades and centuries... Again, All of it? Probably not... A lot it? Well a lot more than we were able to in the past.

I used to see the ones in my school that were well-adjusted and had good relations w/ their parents and I'd envy them. I eventually just gave up and became a hoodlum. But I made it through thank God. And I love and forgive my parents for everything, heck, they themselves were screwed up 'cause of their upbringing. (Basic white trash, substance abuse, divorce, fighting.) But they did provide for me and protect me to a large extent. Yes, I'm anticipating some really great changes too :)

And I love and forgive my parents for everything

If that route is possible, that's the way to go... It can be hard to forgive, but holding on to negative emotions only prolongs the abuse that occurred in the first placeI know... How profound of me -_- like you don't know that...Now, that's not to say everyone deserves forgiveness... Often times, people don't deserve forgiveness. That's also not to say it should just be "forgotten about" or someone should just " move on." If you suppress negative experiences versus going through the process of "letting go" the emotions are bound to resurface down the road.Again, I'm sooo Original lol

THAT BEING SAID, as I've mentioned before... I'm fortunate to have not had to deal with abuse of any kind, So I'm most certainly not qualified to speak on how hard forgiveness is, or who should or shouldn't be forgiven... In fact, I'm probably the last person who should be speaking on the issue. If anything, I'm always the one being "forgave"or is it forgiven? versus doing the forgiving.

heck, they themselves were screwed up 'cause of their upbringing. (Basic white trash, substance abuse, divorce, fighting.)

It's a fucked up cycle... I'd like to think that nowadays we are more equipped with the resources that could be used to break said cycle. Resources being, the internet and all the positive things that come with it, Such as unlimited knowledge, and the potential for support from people you'd otherwise never have known, etc...

Also, If it makes you feel better, I had a perfect life and still managed to bend it over and fuck it up... lol. (I say that light Lightheartedly, even my definition of "Fucked up" isn't that bad...Also, I wouldn't insult you by suggesting that should make you feel better, or further more, that you even need help feeling better..Seems as though you're taking the right approach... and again, Not even suggesting i know the right approach.)

Everything you said was good. As for me, there were/are people in much, much worse condition(s) at this moment (than what I went through).

And people are all different, and circumstances different. Some forgive and move on, others simply cannot. But the type and amount of abuse matters of course. As you intimated, the forgiveness is for you (yourself).

I'd like to think that nowadays we are more equipped with the resources that could be used to break said cycle. Resources being, the internet and all the positive things that come with it, Such as unlimited knowledge, and the potential for support from people you'd otherwise never have known, etc...

Exactly. It's a new day.
