I am police detective i live and work in the UK. I have experiened much in my life, i am asurvivor, a term used for those who have been sexually abused and come through it, i have been to war i the Gulf and i have grown up with domestic abuse. It has made me a very calm and relaxed focused person, i thought i could handle anything.
I have just charged 4 boys with murder. They killed another boy out of respect issues that are killing the black community of Britain. They leave behind families destroyed on all sides. all of these boys had secret lives of gang culture that has swept this country as an underlying disease that has poisoned you men with fantastic futures, intelligent boys that achieved good grades at school are respectful to their parents but are killers at night or when out of sight. This must stop and i want to get involved.

There was a knife attack on the news this morning :( I think 3 people where injured.
A girl sunbathing was murdered in "broad" daylight in Birmingham many years ago.
A police officer was murdered outside her home by a knife attack.
I hate knives and I despise the fact that they are so darn easy to buy! Go into any cheap shop in the country and you will see Knives, horrible knives for sale. They make me physically sick. Just writing this is causing a physical revulsion.
I witnessed a knife attack, I was on medication and required counsellour and I hate, hate, hate Knives of all sorts.
When I visit a friend the knives get hidden in the cupboard or I will fixate upon them. I know its Post Traumatic Stress and I was terrified the counsellour may make me confront my fear.
I cannot even walk past them in a shop, I will go the other way or avoid looking at them.
Yes more should be done about the ease of buying knives, they may be cheap and nasty but they can still kill.

Worthy cause Mat, these problems are a culture and to fix them them will require a generation, as with abuse, sometimes it can be stopped but the cure takes a long time with a lot of determination, as you have said you are "focused". Your desires are another stage of the healing of a survivor. This tendancy to protect and help doesn't go away, it just mellows over time as you help the one within more! Good luck on you journey and keep safe!
