Collin’s punishment would have been better if she got to witness it.
As for the gentle treatment? If nothing else then it’s stupid to beak the merchandise mentally or physically. There are plenty of sickos who delight in that kind of thing themselves.
1. My GP doctor explained that the drugs are only half of the treatment, and actually the 'crutch' half of the treatment -that (in my own words) without dealing with my mis-wired brain, the drugs would only ever be a bandaid holding my wound together.

I went to 6, yep, SIX different psychologists before I clicked with one finally. I was seeing her for a few years when a chance appointment with a social worker showed me that you didn't need a piece of paper in psychology to get the message across even better -in other words, this social worker clicked with me even more than the great psychologist!
