A lifetime ago, I was counselor for victims of sexual assault while I worked on my psych degree. When I think of sitting across from a woman with blackened eye(s), teeth that had been knocked out, broken ribs, broken fingers, and possible internal injuries, that is the sickening image I have of rape. The hollow look in their eyes, the listlessness, the despair permeating the room, you so want to make their pain go away and are powerless to do anything about it; that is what I think of when I think of rape. It was so emotionally draining for me that I switched career paths and went into the business world. Not to lessen other experiences but I have a hard time equating the image in my mind with what happened to Nick.

Just reading about this is truly heartbreaking. I hope the maggots who did this to these women were caught and punished.
When I was thinking about Nick's situation, I wasnt't equating it with women who so badly injured during a rape, but maybe I should have. I was thinking more along the lines of the ones who are drugged and then raped with no recollection of what happened to them.
My father worked for four decades as a policeman and detective. He risked his life many, many times to protect the public and retired with honors. I see Nick do so many corrupt things as a cop and simply shrug them off because being a Grimm is more important.
I understand exactly what you're saying.
And now I've gone and done it again. Derailed the thread I started.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
