Am I wrong to be badly triggered by the constant reporting of Epstein and co due to my father who was convicted of abusing me being exactly the same generation, abuse of power, evil behind a mask and ability to control everyone including my mother who has stood by him? I work with teenagers who think it’s funny to joke about Epstein and I have unravelled riddled with anxiety, fear and exhaustion following their ongoing comments and laughter about him and his crimes.

AIBU - Can’t do this kind of work anymore and need to go off sick to calm my nervous system and find a different career

Sorry to hear about what happened to you - those who laugh are idiots. The world is becoming more callous and desensitised.
