Dealing with your abuser still being out there?

Hi,

We've been thinking about our abuse a lot lately (reckon it's a trauma anniversary around now, hard to say things are so fuzzy) and more and more horrifying and sickening memories keep coming back to me. It only went for a year starting when we were 6, but the man who did this to us was a juniour teacher, and since then has worked as a proper teacher, a special education teacher, and a child protection officer. It's almost guaranteed that the man who would bribe us into sex with ice cream, toys, and other fun things, as well as on occasion would give us poppers so we'd complain less and be more passive, is still out there abusing kids.

We tried reporting things to the police last year but it went nowhere due to the time since it happened and the DID meaning we weren't' seen as reliable witnesses. Just how do you deal with the fact that a complete monster is still out there and likely still abusing kids?

You have done what you can. You have tried. You did the right thing. Don't try and carry too many crosses. Look after you.
