PLEASE DON'T TALK ABOUT MY MOLESTER

Dear Friend,

Nowhere have I identified you. Your name was never mentioned. Nothing I have ever said or written identifies you. Since I spend half my life in hospital, I know many nurses. There is nothing connecting you to my reports. 

But you chose to let a molester, a rapist, get away with his crimes committed against you when you were a helpless girl. You decided not to report him. 

I know nothing about him except his name. But I know this: A molester, a rapist, does not stop at one victim. Since you let him get away with the crimes he committed against you, you left him free to continue raping other girls. There is no way I could look the other way. 

Just because Dr. H. had years to continue raping girls and later he died is no reason to forget and forgive his crimes. Hitler died long ago, but we do not stop reporting his crimes.

This goes beyond your experience. You are not involved. Since I know about these crimes, it is my responsibility to make sure his abuses are not forgotten.

You continue to avoid dealing with this because you care about his family. But you have never expressed concern or pity for the other girls he almost certainly raped. It is only about you and him. And you justify this by being concerned about his family.

Almost all criminals have families. Almost all crime victims have families. 

Do you ever wonder about the families of the other girls he molested? You cannot know how many families he injured, how many children of his victims still bear the scars of his crimes, and how many wonder what happened because no one reported the facts. Or did they? 

Who knows if any of his victims did speak up? The truth has been covered up. Only you know what he did to you, and you covered for him. 

You were afraid. After all these years, you are still afraid, but instead of admitting you are afraid, you want to bury the evil this man did by diverting interest toward his family.

You have to be yourself. No one knows better than I do what a good person you are. You will let yourself sink into depression rather than face reality. It is your choice. It is heartbreaking. It worries me. But I can't let you silence me - to control me - to satisfy your need to continue covering up his crimes.

This is not God's job. It is mine. I believe in justice for crime victims. I cannot - will not - look the other way or cover up a cruel, dirty, crime. 

I hope you will find someone to help you. If forgiving your molester satisfies your Christian ethics and that gives you peace, you should be feeling safely at peace right now and enjoying your life because you are a very good person and you have forgiven him. It is out of your hands. 

But it seems to me you are not enjoying peace. You are still struggling to cover up for your molester, trying to forget, trying to blank out the truth and pretend.

Consider the crime you are committing against yourself, suffering because you told me about what Dr. H. did to you, blaming yourself. You would choose to beat yourself up rather than stand up as a free woman and blame your abuser. I wonder what Jesus would say. I don't believe that He would approve of the way you hurt yourself.

This isn't your fight. You gave up long ago. It is a fight for every girl, every child, every woman who has suffered at the dirty hands of a rapist and has been told to shut up and pray. Hundreds of women are now coming out and reporting their molesters.

At last.

GLORY TO DEAR HARVEY WEINSTEIN

 

RAPE WITH IMPUNITY HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE CAVEMAN DAYS.

 

RAPED WOMEN HAVE BEEN SCOFFED AT, BLAMED, INSULTED, SUPPRESSED AND OPPRESSED.

 

THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD TO SHUT UP. THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY ARE ALONE. THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE THEM OR HELP THEM.

 

THEY HAVE BEEN FIRED FROM THEIR JOBS, BEATEN, SCALDED WITH ACID, ENSLAVED, DROWNED, BURNED, MURDERED.

 

HARVEY WEINSTEIN SHOULD BE OUR HERO, OUR IDOL. BUILD MONUMENTS TO THANK DEAR HARVEY WEINSTEIN. WRITE BALLADS TO GLORIFY HIM. HIS FILTHY ACTS HAVE AWAKENED WOMEN ALL OVER THE WORLD.

 

NOW WE KNOW WE ARE NOT ALONE. NOW WE KNOW WE DON'T HAVE TO HIDE. NOW WE KNOW THAT NO MAN CAN GET AWAY WITH RAPE ON A GET OUT OF PRISON FREE TICKET. NOW AND FOREVER MORE, THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY.

 

THANKS TO YOU, DEAR HARVEY WEINSTEIN.
