Place Revisited

[sportinrucks]

I recently visited the place where the incidents happened. The complex was empty and being re-modeled. I went to the apt. where my perp was for reference for the investigators. I'm hoping they can get a lead or something.

I talked to the manager of the apts. and they said that they shred their records after 5 to 7 years. It's been 12 since the incident happened and I don't know when the family moved. It kind of hurts that I didn't speak up sooner.

sportinrucks,

I'm sorry you've come up against this. I kinda know what it feels like since as far as I know the guys that abused me are both dead. In one respect I'm glad of that because it means they can no longer hurt children, but on the other hand I'd like the ability to see them through the courts and into prison, you know?

And who knows, maybe it's not a complete dead end for you as there may be other ways of tracking the guy down.

Hope your healing goes well regardless of whether you are able to find the guy or not.

Lots of love,

John

sportinrucks,

It kind of hurts that I didn't speak up sooner.

I hope you will soon be able to let go of this guilt. It isn't yours to bear.

None of us choose to remain silent, I think; speaking up is something that requires resources (confidence, self esteem, and so on), and in many cases we simply didn't have these resources for a long time.

What I am saying is that we spoke up as soon as we could, just as we aimed for recovery as soon as we could. This is all rough stuff, and we could not have done it a moment earlier. We acted as soon as we could.

Much love,
Larry
