Workplace Violence Hurts ... It Almost Ended My World

Im sorry but I'm not a hateful person. Perhaps if I were like the criminals that hurt me I wouldn't have been hurt in the first place. I'm proud of this attribute but even my doctors feel I should be angry especially since I work in the mental health field.
I see it this way, one day all the criminals who could have intentionally ended my life, will be held accountable. I may not be around to witness it or hear about it but in the end I believe that criminals pay for their evil practices.
I know this woman who's mother was an alcoholic and she turned out to be very successful inspite of her troubles growing up. However, success did not matter much because she was conditioned to mistreat other's. She's not a happy human being but it's deserving because you cannot be cruel to others and expect to be happy. Having given this example by no means indicates that I'm judging the mother because she had a disease and we all know or should know that the addiction field has not always been supporting to women's causes. Til this day there are more detoxification and treatment beds for men than women.
So, my point is that if we are not good human beings in time it catches up to you.
All, I can do, is continue being a strong advocate for those that I adore working with .. the clients and unfortunately myself!
Thanks

Oh Roxie,
Why are there so many stories like this?? Mothers who are all messed up and raising kids who are also messed up. It's just so sad and tragic. I really believe there are just tons of people walking around all broken and messed up. I see it at all of my jobs...people who can't deal with others...even highly intelligent people with the emotional intelligence of a child. We then have to deal with the fallout. I think we need to rethink our educational system. We need to teach children how to be emotionally functional because it's obvious mothers are not teaching this.
Best, Maverick
Hi,
You're so right unfortunately. These are the people in charge of our healthcare system and it's so very sad. Some don't even have compassion for how much they hurt other's. My grammie and mom were wonderful and taught me about love and acceptance but this is not what everyone experienced and so others pay for their denial about needing help.
Those of us in treatment and are not ashamed of ourselves are targeted by such people. It's an unfortunate cycle of dysfunction and hurtful action's.
The evolution of mankind! It's a sad state that we live in and many of our young are lost without proper nurturing and guidance.
All we can do is pray that many of the broken systems are revamped sooner rather than later.
Take care my friend,
Rox
It's coming Jodi it's coming.
