*Trigger warning* George Pell
Hi everyone
I know this will be a trigger for some and I’m really sorry. The last thing I want to do is upset anyone.
I just need to vent my anger.
After hearing today that George Pell is sentenced to 6 years jail I am so angry.
I was sexually abused as a child but not by the Catholic Church.
But today I’m feeling a mixture of emotions - sad, anger, frustration.
Im very angry at the decision the judge has made. Six years is a joke. How can the judge make this decision?
He (George Pell) has totally ruined the victims lives forever. The memories will always be with them.
I’m really sad fir the victims. I don’t know how to express my sadness. It’s a sad day.
Yes he did get jail but I feel nit long enough.
I hope he suffers badly. Whst he did to those poor boys as innocent children was disgusting and he used his priesthood to take advantage of these children.
I do understand and empathise with these survivors as I am a survivor also if childhood sexual abuse.
Nithing he can say will take away what he did. I hope he suffers in jail all alone.
If if anyone needs any support pls contact Blue Knot 1300 657 380
love snd hugs to all childhood sexual abuse survivors ❤️❤️❤️
We are strong, we have survived
broken or not we are still here

Re: *Trigger warning* George Pell
It is good to "see" you and read your post.
I got a better offer today and went with son to a friend's place, otherwise I would have gone to the court again.
I would turn in circles as I examined all the aspects of the situation and drive myself totally insane. Pell probably will get plenty of visits by people who convince themselves he is innocent. I saw him talk to one the other day.
I am not triggered, my son was glad I did not go to the sentencing, its a sign of me letting go.
Actually I am triggered a little, but I am so glad I heard it from a friend first, rather than just reading news.
Thank you BB
I hope you are alright.
