Oh, and forgot to ask. What's an ACOP? It's not a british comedian, is it?

ACOP. It's my own new group I've started. Adult Children of Psychopaths.
I'm the only member so far.
Bit like I'm the only member of my church that I founded a few years ago. "the Latitudinarians." Latitudinal means tolerates a lot of variety of opinions and beliefs. But even though we're only small, (I won't let my husband join 'cause he hates moslems and sikhs, and hindu's. He's learnt to become okay with the jews, buddhists and taoists though. He's getting there, nearly ready.
But hey, even though I'm the only member, and the preacher too, it's HUGE. I've got churches all over the world. True. I've claimed every church in existence actually :wink: and now they all belongs to us Latitudinarians. Anywhere we go, we've a house of worship. hahahahahahahah
I think the big brother and sister program is excellent. The buddy system. You'd get a lot out of it too, I'm sure. And you've got so much to give. Way more than Astor can use. hahahah If more women got involved then people would be gamer. ( a lot of fear out there about peadophilia and rightfully so, got some new stats throught the other night and I still haven't recovered) :x I'm so shocked and angry at how it's on the increase even more. Bloody politicians sittin' on there arses, half of them. I'm not waiting for them, I'm agitating in my own way. Sending off heaps of E-mails and letters. Why do I have to do these bloody books?????? Oh well, I've made good progress and will be finished soon. :D How do you eat an elephant? A bite at a time. :D

:shock: That thought hadn’t even crossed my mind. The way it works here is that Big Sisters can only work with young girls and Big Brothers can only work with young boys. Geez, it never occurred to me to worry about the safety (at least, to that extreme) of these poor kids who need support. I don’t really have words – at all – to describe how angry it makes me to think of people taking advantage of kids who are already suffering – if only in the sense that they need more time with a mentor figure because of working parents. Seeing red right now. :evil: :evil: :evil: What kind of research are you finding? Any of it on the web?

I think there might be a few others on this board who’d like to sign up. Do BIL’s count? I guess then it’d be ABILOP. Or ABILOS for the sociopath.

I bet the preacher has great sermons :D. Do you have any kind of baptism thingy that washes away all the closed-mindedness? I think I could use a little o’ that, but I’m getting there. I just keep watching Harold and Maude… Have you seen that? I keep wondering if it falls in the too violent category – because the kid kinda torments his raging Nmom (good revenge movie, though).
I was thinking about how you can’t watch violent movies, and I finally realized that I have similar reactions to movies like Dangerous Liasons. A couple of my friends LOVE it, and one day I asked one of them why, and she said she liked the honesty – about how people aren’t always nice to each other. I think I can’t watch movies like that. Where people are manipulative and horribly mean. My movie Achilles heal, I guess.
Good luck with the elephant platter. Is that work stuff or here stuff?

Hi Wildflower,
The World Health Organisation commissioned a study and a whole bunch of hospitals participated, including one near where I live.
The result of the study is available at
www.who.int/health.topics/en/
In the alphabetical index go to 'C' and locate 'Child Abuse'. You can download the complete report.
The 2002 World Report on Violence and Health concluded:-
"at least 8% of males and 25% of females up to 18 years of age experience sexual abuse of some kind."
At our participating hospital, the female numbers were 27% but the numbers averaged out to across the board to 25%. The numbers not varying much from the participating countries. :shock:
Staggering isn't it?
If this isn't an epidemic, then I don't know what is!!!!
CG
PS, I might post this as a new topic too.
