The case of the Abused

Abuse...be it mentally, emotionally or physically is the most self damaging issue in a person's life. Some individuals believe that as years go by the memory of the abuse would sort of fade away. Does it really? A lot of people might have a different opinion about this issue; they might believe something along this line, "with years of therapy the individual would learn to let go...or heal from the pain" while there might be a little truth to that statement; I don't quite believe it happens that way. No matter the amount of therapy the person goes through, they would never fully forget what happened because something always brings back the memory.
Another thing is that the person might be stuck..psycho sexually stuck at the particular moment in their life. For example, someone who is abused as an adolescent or a teenager tends to have the mind of set of an adolescent or teenager even after they've grown into mature men and women.

A lot of people know who Michael Jackson is...some people see him and a pedophile, while other see him as an innocent people who fell a victim of human cruelty. I for one believe he's innocent of everything he's accused of. (your opinion might be different and I respect that, but it's my blog, so deal with it) Anyway, it is believed that Michael was abused as a child and that his lack of childhood took a toll on him as an adult. Why else do you think "a grown man would build an amusement park for himself?" If you look very close to into his life, you would notice he always hung out with children between the ages of nine and eleven. I believe this is within the time period he was abused as a child and he's been stuck in that age group mentality even as an adult. Your opinion might vary...but an abuse is an abuse and it's very self damaging. It's just something that stays with you...forever. You can forgive and let go, but you can never forget.
