When a victim tries to get her rights, or at least asks for those who butchered and ruined her life to face questions, it seems like a minimum request for justice. Unfortunately, those who suffered from trauma at some time in their life and then suddenly hold power, money, or high education believe they are entitled to hide their negligence and harassment under that wealth or status.
It is distressing to see so many people sabotaging their own power and positions because they feel their childhood abuse or past invisibility defines who they are now. It is sad and makes us feel sorry for them. While they believe they have the upper hand in every situation, in reality, they are victims themselves who did not receive justice on time. By sabotaging others through their money and positions, they try to get revenge and recover.
While this loop is unacceptable in every way—that a target of bullying then targets innocent victims for his own cure and recovery—it is systematic abuse. It is not clear who should be blamed: an innocent victim who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, or a rich, powerful person in a high position who, after having everything, still needs to bully others to feel good. When a system is corrupted or we face systemic abuse, no one is safe—not you, not me, not the children, and not even the previous generation.
