Yeah, it's just people whose opinions that I trust and I hold dear to me.
And they've helped me through some pretty bad times.
You know, well, probably the worst thing for me, you know, I've been incarcerated, etc.
But definitely the worst thing for me is children, like seeing children suffer or die.
And I've seen a lot of that.
And it's just, that's what I struggle with.
And the last thing that I had to get help for was when I came back from Samoa last year and I did a meth investigation and found out that some of the parents, and this is not just in Samoa, but I discovered it in Samoa, but it happens everywhere apparently.
were taking their children down to the meth dealers and leaving their children there in exchange for meth so the children would be sexually abused and one of the mothers
told me in great detail, detail I did not need, in my, you know, sort of in my ear about what was happening and oh my gosh.
And I had that image, you know, I've got these images in my head and police would go through this when they're investigating these sorts of things.
And of course, I couldn't talk to any of my trusted people about that because that would traumatise them.
And there's no way I'm going to do that.
So I was a bit of a, I was pretty messed up just for a couple of days.
And then work put me in touch with a proper, with the police, the person who guides police on these, you know, talks to the police about these police psychologists, you could say, and
And she was excellent.
Okay.
And that really helped me.
I'm so glad to hear that.
And I didn't need to go.
I only went a couple of times and I was good to go.
