Milo is living through the consequences of unresolved emotional trauma

This event has caused me personal grief as it is something I relate to on a personal level.
It is very obvious to me that Milo was very isolated as a child. His victimhood was not just sexual predation, but also finding more comfort in the hands of a middle-aged predator than with his parents. This has, in my opinion, caused him to elevate the status of his predator above parents, because it's actually easier for him to be critical of his parents than a child molester.
I was a victim in similar ways, I was sexually assaulted a number of times from the age of 3-6, and throughout my life, misplacement of blame as well as the absence of blame had inflicted me with the inability to overcome difficult trauma. When I finally was able to complete the puzzle of responsibility in my head it was as if a great burden had been lifted and I was finally freed.
Milo's statement after this episode where he noted that bankruptcy was worse than being raped is indefensible and worrisome. He has a rare combination of political affiliation, sexual orientation, intelligence, charm, and attractiveness that could vault him to prominence as well as be a boon for my belief set. Unfortunately it seems that Milo has not been reflective enough on what happened.
Not to please the Left and the cucks, but to alleviate his own burdens.
I hope Milo, and everyone else, can see that this moment has a silver lining in showing us the necessity of dealing with our issues healthily.

Bravo Sir. I respect your honesty and your analysis.
Milo needs to be brutally honest with himself. Easier said than done of course.
Fuc* the first person who makes a joke at your expense.
And fuc* anybody that would screw up any kid's life.

Regardless of his personal tragedy and current condition...at least the man is in the ring and contributes in ways that are valuable to society. That is more than a lot can claim, or even hope for. I respect that. And I hope he finds peace.

Basically this. Milo definitely has some demons that I hope he deals with in a healthy way. A hope we should have for all people, regardless of political allegiances.
He is "the man in the ring" that T. Roosevelt wrote of. I still tip my cap to him.

Milo is living through a consequence of choice. He did not have to mention anything in a public forum. He chose to make it public so he chose to accept the consequences of his words.
Working with kids with emotional and behavioral issues (multiple abuse victims) is where I am coming from with this.

I can't imagine how his "contributions" are valuable to society.

Bless you and I am so glad you found peace.
It (for me) clouded every single day of my life until I came to terms with it in my late 20's.
I think this is one reason I found the Milo situation so incredibly devastating and confusing. I think he is trying to minimize the act in order to make sense of his own abuse.
I hope he makes peace with his past.

There is definitely emotional baggage that comes from molestation. Women who are raped as adults can have long-lasting psychological trauma, so how can we expect children who have no control over their emotions to react to being molested? If they don't get help, that can shape who they are as they mature into adults. Child molestation is damaging and those who prey on the innocent like that should receive the most severe punishment for what they've done.

Do you not at least have empathy for 13 year old Milo?

Then you should understand the point I'm trying to make. He's a 30 year old man making political and philosophical statement from the point of view of a traumatized 13 year old. He needs to take responsibility and delve into his psyche before trying to bounce back.

You do know there is a widely accepted school of thought that focusing too much on the abuse is more harmful than good.
But IMO the most damage or most good that comes is not from later years and of therapy, but from the initial disclosure. If the person describes the event and it is seen as lies etc by the receiver of the message the damage is far more greater than the act itself. Because the person disclosing the incident will now not have a trust or willingness to disseminate information.

Unless you throw bomb for the right, then we need understanding and compassion.
