But making a report, if what you want is justice and if you feel ready...

That would be quite important, practically speaking, obviously, but also in taking back some of your power here.

One big thing working in your favor, the fact that this MIPAM guy publicly admitted to wrongdoing and stepped down, Corbyn said that that public admission is key.

So if you do end up going to the police, take that admission with you, his public statement, the organization statement, news articles about all this, although I would hope the police already know about this because they did an investigation, even though it didn't lead to charges, but still show them that this is not, you know, some vengeful ex-member looking to settle a score.

Your story fits into this very publicly acknowledged pattern of abuse.

I imagine you can also reach out to Buddhist Project Sunshine.

They're probably very plugged into all of this and they must be pretty motivated to help victims.

I'm really glad you brought this up, Jordan, because here, too, we're talking about another very concrete strategy that she isn't exploring.

And now I'm thinking about that other thing she said, how if something were to happen to her kids, she would feel 100% responsible.

I mean, look, I think we can all agree that if someone assaults someone, the responsibility falls exclusively on the assailant.

But I also wonder if she holds this feeling because she's not exploring the handful of very practical things she could be doing to remedy the situation and actually protect her kids to the

might be two sides of the same coin.

And I wonder if what she is looking for is basically someone to save her, protect her, including the very organization that apparently allowed this to happen, when really what she needs is to look inside and start answering this question for herself, which is,

Why is it so hard for me to take these steps to do what I say I want to do, which is protect my kids?

Like what is actually standing in my way?

And I ask that without judgment.

I know that this is heavy.

I know that this is complicated.

I get that there are a lot of nuances, but I do think you need to get clear on this if you want things to change.

Exactly.
