30. Obviously this all has been around a lot

longer than Trump, though I think much is coming to the surface because of him and his many scandals.

I suppose I am mostly shocked and outraged by how prevalent it has been for so very long. Now I can look back on my life and see that it was everywhere, but rarely acknowledged or prosecuted. A whole lot of sweeping it under the rug to protect the men responsible. It probably wasn't all that hard, being they were the ones with all the power and money. Even worse, if it was exposed, the victims were often blamed.

Like you, I am also feeling angry and hopeless. To think I am sharing the planet with that kind of evil and as a woman, I really haven't come as long a way as I'd thought. At least I can console myself that I raised a really good man who is raising two remarkable boys.
