The huz and I were watching My Name is Earl last night (thank you TiVo 
). In this episode, Earl was trying to make up for something shitty he did to someone. When he was making up for it, he said something along the lines of “When I hurt him like that, I not only opened his eyes to all the bad in the world, I closed his eyes to all the good in the world.”
That’s when I started to cry. That’s exactly what happened to me. When that babysitter abused me when I was little, it’s like she not only opened my eyes to the fact that people are willing to knowingly hurt me, but also closed my eyes to the fact that there might be good people in this world too. Everywhere I look, all I see are possible predators, instead of just people.
This is why you shouldn’t fuck kids.
