I Feel Alarmed whenever in Journal

I read or hear something like this
“Herman’s work is valuable to everyone who has been the victim of such incest because it offers help; it is valuable to those whose families are shattered by its occurrence because it offers a means for reconciliation, and it is valuable to specialists who seek to assist their victim-clients. (Los Angeles Times)”
I’ll tell you why.
it is valuable to those whose families are shattered by its occurrence- it seems so obviously backwards to anyone who cares to think about it. But the blithe and confident assumption that a family is shattered by the “occurrence of incest” is just… sick. It’s a sickness. It’s like a viral infection that has gotten all of humanity wrapped up in it’s insane opposite double-think. The abuse just “occured”. Sexual predation of a child was an event that happened. Incest is what tore the family apart.
I feel like I want to vomit. The Family is what enacted, created and enabled the incest. I want to scream. I want to wale at the insanity of the people on this earth. But, what other kind of people could possibly allow the wholesale sacrifice of children. I should expect backwards doublespeak. I shouldn’t be surprised. I should know better by now.
Yet I am alarmed every time.
