Thank you for sharing that and I hope it helped in some small way. This process was never designed for Survivors of sexual abuse and I pray that an eventual outcome is that action will be taken to adjust a system that's designed for widget manufacturers and not adults whose life was ruined by the liability of an organization looking for a new start. Every time I've heard someone invoke "This needs to end because Survivors need resolution" I want to strangle the speaker. Bankruptcy isn't justice, it's business and the ONLY thing the bankruptcy will resolve for Survivors is the bankruptcy. When it's over ONLY the bankruptcy will be in the rear view mirror. All of the impacts will remain. I'm glad your backyard and that hose brings you peace. Self-care has never been so important than now for so many. I'm lucky, my case against my abuser individually is moving forward. Next week I get deposed, again. But, a couple weeks ago I had a minor stroke and was reminded first-hand why the lifespan for Survivors is shorter than those not abused. My doctor wants me to decrease the stress in my life. Suuuuuure, no problem! That's a lifetime sentence. Bottom line though is that self-care is SO important and while most men are wired to "suck it up", we need to lean in to whatever it is that helps us. Time for me to turn off the TV, take a nice easy walk and remember that the change of seasons is upon us and there is beauty to be found if you look for it. Stay strong everyone. I feel for every one of the Slater clients but I also want to thank them for winding up a part of the "validation" that everyone clamored for long ago to ensure that a dollar doesn't go to someone who doesn't deserve it. I hope that your deserving claims are recognized, and quickly. -
Size isn't that hard of a metric to hit for a troop. If you have 12 and they are registered you're good to go, the hardest metric for a troop is growth (retention for a pack), but what I am hearing and seeing is that units are not entering their advancement or tracking their outdoor activities. So in your case, where you might have some issues with size and growth you can still look really good if you're data entry is up to date. A small troop that is stable in size year-over-year with good advancement, adult training, and activity recording looks SUPER compared to most other units. I can tell you this for a fact, the bottom 3 units (bottom third for an extended view) in my district have 1 or 0 "gos" in the new metrics. 30% is crazy bad, so so so crazy bad. Is there anyone on the national board or any council boards that have hospitality industry experience? Residential experience? A good rental market is 90% occupancy, hotels are 60% or higher, private campgrounds are 75%. I know we're non-profit here in the land of scouting; but, we have to look at our for profit near peers for guidance. -
LOL, I had a coworker who would come to me with very technical questions and she would tell me to assume the position before I could start "mansplaining". The position is the "manspread" which is lean forward, legs spread apart as far as possible, arms resting on legs, fingers crossed. Then she would sigh in despair and take a sip of her coffee and give me the "go ahead, wow me with too much information".

Do not feel sorry. There are far too many survivors that have the same emotional issues as you.
