I hear you and your brethren talking about 12-9s traumatizing you for the rest of your life. Back during the pandemic I posted an excellent documentary from the New Yorker discussing this and it served to validate the emotional pain and psychological scarring of the crew, especially the T/O.I'll be honest in that I had, even have to a degree, trouble with some of the posts on this board that hate on the deceased. I cannot separate it in the sense I do not see it as a mutually exclusive event in so far as the statement I made; that is, many read the majority of these adolescents are immature, easily influenced and vulnerable to peer pressure, and do not think beyond the here and now. It is a life thrown away and for what? A few clicks on some platform? It is not an excuse for but the reality of the behavior. I know none of that makes a difference or make things any easier for the T/O. With that, I want to go on record and emphatically state I am not, nor have I ever been, a T/O so I cannot relate to the unimaginable pain and suffering the 12-9'er has to work through. It's just that the 12-9'ee does not have the opportunity to work through anything anymore. The whole thing is sad. Here is a short article from a few months ago that addresses the subject: Here |
