I worked with a Pharmacist in a hospital a few years back. His family escaped the killing fields in Cambodia....lost some his family to genocide etc etc. Came here as a refugee/child, after trekking miles and miles to get somewhere safe. Studied hard, worked hard, ended up working in the Ministry of Health. Left as he couldn't believe what a bunch of numtys they were. His story is truly horrific...he shared it with us at work one day. Didn't go thieving from shops though. Stop making excuses for this woman.
Did he get regular messages suggesting he be raped and burned alive? Walk a mile in those shoes before you judge someone else for collapsing under their load...

Well, not really - folks deal with trauma in different ways, some seem to be able to put it behind them and move on, others turn to drugs, get high on P and start waving machetes and swords around; others with a bent towards firearms might take their own lives or worse, that of others... Everyone deals with trauma differently.
I guess some of us just want to try and understand how she maybe got to this position in her life, some may even relate?
Her book is a good read. Public library has a few copies.
