if i could guarantee they’d receive long/life sentences, i’d take my ex and my pop to court for some of that. but as it stands, it’s just not in my favour to retraumatise myself only for them to be released in under a decade.

Honestly, I feel you. Especially since my abuse doesn't have any physical evidence. Except the physical evidence is me. It's just not worth it going through the courts to either get them to believe in me, not only that but re-traumtising myself AND having to see my abuser? He left for a bloody reason. There's no way in hell I'm ever seeing him again and he makes it out alive.
