I have read a post online of a 37 years old man, talking about his traumatic and chaotic past in his family due to mistreatments and the like, listing all he went through and asking if he'd be eligible to sue his parents for their actions. He didn't list things such as being neglected and abandoned alone for days on end when he was a child, or that he was beaten to the point of ending up in the hospital or similar, however it was still bad bad shit that left a permanent mark on him, anxiety and trauma that has even led him to attempt suicide. With this in mind, he asked if he could get something out of suing his parents.

The replies?

The wide majority said: "spend your money on a therapist instead of lawyers, it'd be better spent". Others listed: "you just seek revenge. The best revenge is being happy in spite of them" "you don't need a lawyer, you need a good therapist or professional who can help you find your peace back instead, as you couldn't mitigate the problems you had with your family" and so on. Most said that he would genuinely get nothing out of the lawsuit, except money loss.

A single comment was a bit different and said to consider if that was the very last resort and if he had no way of patching his relationship before proceeding.

Reading all of this has made me sick to my stomach...

REALLY?? While I understand therapy may help someone and that's completely valid, but saying to just "accept it and move on"??? A guy said "it's just a thing that happens to unlucky people" another guy said "your parents were right, you should've learnt with violent discipline" (this comment was clearly a troll though so I didn't give attention to it).

Are we really telling a person that literally has gone through enough shit to LITERALLY ATTEMPT SUICIDE to just ACCEPT IT AND MOVE ON LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED?? Is this telling me that the judicial system also believes this and that violent and abusive parents get out with traumatising their kids FUCKING SCOT FREE?? IS THIS THE WORLD WE LIVE IN IN MODERN AGE??

I'm using full caps here because it's really, fucking, beyond, me. It's beyond taking my hope and trampling over it, this is a smack on my face by life itself, telling me to suck it up and get fucked.

With this level of indignation and disgust and hopelessness in me I can't feel anything if not this very concrete feeling: "Unacceptable". I simply cannot accept existing and willingfully living in a world that condones this type of human injustice.

I simply cannot on a psychophysical level accept a world that teaches you that abusive and bad people get away with their actions simply because it's seen as socially acceptable to the point of judicial systems not acting on it (the post was made in a community that revolves around local laws). Ruining someone on a physical or psychological level to the point of becoming permanent scarred is NOT OKAY and should NOT go unpunished. This psychopathic shit.

Shall I CTB I won't want to see ANY... ANY person that "has an answer ready for anything" telling me or thinking "oh well, they were just wrong and could've prevented that course of action" with a feeling of spiritual and psychological superiority. If they were capable of commenting such things I can very well envision them blaming dead people for dying too, at this point.

Man... Fuck...

Society as a whole tells most people to "get over it" on a regular basis. Hell, it happens on this site too... you see some common recurrence of at least certain types of trauma where people will post and there will be a chorus of "my problems are worse than yours so suck it up" or "that's life, get over it."

Even amongst those who ought to be the most sympathetic, you will find lack of empathy for others. Society teaches us to be selfish and not care about anyone but ourselves... and people who get the worst of it and are depressed and traumatized don't often have anywhere to really turn for a shot at help. I'm not at all surprised, unfortunately, at how that evolved in the discussion you're talking about.
