Hello Maurizio: I hear what you are saying. What you say is interesting and contains a lot of depth. I am encouraged by your passion and sense of justice, you hold on this subject. I think it is that my writing speaks to something you already see as terrible injustice.

Evil and terrorizing acts are endlessly deep concepts. I agree that parents hurt children so much that it changes them. There are endless numbers of toxic people and toxic parents. I also believe that a child can choose toxic behavior and do terrifying, horrible acts without having toxic parents. A side note: I had toxic parents and have endured agonizing pain, but have been surviving and maintained who I am. It would be an interesting further discussion, with time and space.

Abuse and violence: Yes, the effects are devastating beyond measure. And yes, absolutely we have to do something about it. We need to work toward solutions and gaining acknowledgement and establishing solutions. We need to take what is shameful and hidden and make it safe and acceptable for the abuse be seen and exposed. If one community would learn fully what all forms of abuse look like and would join in agreement that they will not tolerate toxic behavior; if women and children, and men know they will be heard and seen; if they know they have a place to go to be safe and protected; if they know they should not be treated poorly or have to be afraid of toxic people; if we empower each other and teach strength... There are so many ways and avenues we can begin to pursue. It is your passion and strong sense of justice that can change things. Take hold of this challenge to use your energy to create ideas, thought and avenues to change something. Start with one small step. This is what I hoped for: people like us that connect over a just and crucial cause. There will always be evil and toxic people. We need strong accountability and ways to help rescue those of us that are in toxic situations. We need to learn to see and avoid these toxic people.

There are so many toxic people that don't care. Those are not the ones we should speak to. We just need to find others that do care. A few can cause a great shift.
