Punishment For Sexual Offenders is strongly and appropriately favored by pretty much everyone but the offenders. These are heinous criminal acts done to people who cannot defend themselves. When you add the cruelty of threat and terror imposed by the pedophiles who know their victims, it becomes clear that every time we catch someone like this, they need to be punished to the full extent of the law. As opposed to popular belief, though, punishment (usually with therapy) is pretty effective for those convicted. The repeat conviction rate for child molesters is...

Just wondering if anyone has had any luck with natural remedies? I was using Bach Flower Remedy, but it's a pretty quick helper at reducing immediate anxiety, but doesn't last very long?

panic is that a young part of you is terrified and doesn't trust the
older parts of you to look after it. Forcing that young part to do
something it clearly doesn't want to do will make the panic worse.

Try this: Next time you panic, remove yourself from whatever it is
that's causing it. I panic on buses and trains, I don't force myself
to take trains, if I take a bus, I say to that part, "If you want to
get off, we will get off". When I go to the cinema/theatre, I pre-book
an aisle seat, I find out where the exit is and I say to myself "If
you want to leave, we'll leave" I have been doing this for several
years now and it really works. I can sit in waiting rooms now,
something I could never do before, because that young part of me knows
that if it wants to get up and go, we will, without hesitation. It has
learned to trust me. In turn, I can reason with it sometimes when I
really want to stay and I can be really kind to it and even ask it to
try and be OK (this mostly works, but I still have work to do on
this). I never take medication for panic, I think that this is really
disrespectful to the parts of you that are trying to communicate, you
just have to listen to them and eventually they will be less
terrified, learn to trust you and panic attacks do get much less. I
know that one day, I wont need to have them at all any more.

Good Luck!

My son and I were very close. We worked together, rode to work together every day for the past 15 months. We shared a lot, especially his daughter........my precious granddaughter who is now 4.

Now that I've explained the details and how it all began.............let me warn each and every parent, that if your adult child dies, the other parent can take over everything, all funeral arrangements, burial, headstone, Estate, etc........without telling you anything (according to Kansas Law, or should I say say "Small town Politics"). He didn't even tell me about the Estate, I heard it from someone else. Therefore, he is entitled to any information on his Estate to be left to my son's daughter, which by the way he hasn't called to see her since our son died. His mother has, but she is just as controlling and hateful as her son.

Not only did I lose my son, but I and his brothers were totally left out of everything. The step-mother picked out a Priest, which my son is not Catholic and neither is she. The Priest did not have one kind word to say about my son, said he wasn't a godly man, he didn't pray, go to church, WHICH IS NOT TRUE........... WHY WASN'T I GIVEN A CHOICE OR A CHANCE TO BE A PART IN MY SON'S Burial (Step mother works for funeral home)? They had everything planned and signed on the day he died.

How can I ever find it in my heart to forgive them for what they have done? It's hard enough losing a child, let alone, having his father do this to us. My son is buried where he didn't want to be, which is also 3 hours from my home but where his dad lives.

I feel as though I'm losing my own life now, but I have to go on for my other two son's and two granddaughters, and of course all of my family and friends. It's one step at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time, but yet.........I feel as though I can never get the closure that I need because of what he has done. How can I ever forgive him for doing what can never be undone?

Rest in Peace my son...............I love you!
