Hallo everybody!
Quite some time ago, something terrible happened. I gave the details in this thread (#1), followed shortly by this other thread (#2), both threads in the Pit because I had to vent a lot of fury and sadness. I strongly suggest reading those threads before going on with the rest of this post.
Anyway… As of now, I am pleased to announce two things:
(1) - The lowlife responsible for all that has been finally tried and sentenced. The judge gave him the longest sentence available to him. Hopefully all of us who were affected by this, in one way or another, can leave this behind us.
(2) - My friend finally heard, from me, about the threads I opened here about what had happened. She wants to express her gratitude to a bunch of strangers who nonetheless cared about and empathized with her. She appreciates that a lot. She also said, and I quote: “this gives me comfort”.
Thanks, guys and gals, on her behalf.
Almost 2 years later, after going through really unpleasant things, she can hopefully leave all this shit behind and look forward to her future.
In other news, and related with what I said in the second thread linked above --she finally cut ties with her parents, who didn’t actually do anything to comfort or help her after what she went through. She found it hard and painful, but she understands that, in the long run, it may be better for her. She hasn’t slammed the door shut; maybe with time it will be possible that they come back together and things are patched.
In any case, I wanted to give an update about all that, and to transmit her thanks to this community.
Mine too, as well Thanks!
