YOU RAPED ME UNCLE BUT I FORGIVE YOU

 The National 10 June 2021

There was a front page report in the PNG media of an uncle who raped his niece. He was to be sent to prison for his crime.

But his niece told the police that he was a good man whose children will suffer if he goes to prison. She forgives him.

It seems that a new ball game may have started with negotiation between family rapist and young victim. 

The pressure is on the young woman or child to assume the blame if the rapist's family suffers. This may be intolerable pressure.

There are so many men in prison for underage sex which is regarded as rape. Can they now send family around to the girl to pressure her into forgiving him?

IS YOUR HOUSE HAUNTED?

The National 8 June 2021

Do you have 

FEELING of being watched?

Sudden change of TEMPERATURE or electrical charge in the air

HOUSE HOLD goods disappear and appear

UNEXPLAINED footsteps, whispers

LIGHTS turn on and off

FEELING of being touched by unseen hands

FEELING of grief or sadness in specific rooms.

In 2001 I was working with ITI and moved into accommodation in a two story house with Dr Nkwolo was landlord. 

In the first week Linda was diagnosed HIV positive. She screamed, abused me, banged her head on  the wall and cried. 

In the morning we were evicted because of my violence. Linda accused me of infecting her. She said she gave blood to the blood bank in her work place 6 months before. I remained HIV negative.

I went to the blood bank to check her file. It showed rejection of her blood as it was not acceptable because of her being HIV positive. That was 6 months before I met her. But Nkwolo just told me I was a liar.

In this house, there was a main bedroom that we did not use. When I went in, there was no one in sight. But the hairs on my body stood up straight. How could that happen when I saw no-one?

Each time I went into the room, there was a massive response. I was glad we were evicted. There was an evil spirit watching me but I could not see who it was.

A friend told me this occurs when someone dies and their body taken out with no effort to take the spirit with the body too. The spirit stays there.

WHEN A RAPED LITTLE GIRL MARRIES

When a little girl is raped by her father or grandfather, it will stay with her for the rest of her life. It may come between her and her husband when she marries. She may see all men as  dirty bastards.

The grand-father still spends time in prison with no family visitors. The grand daughter never visits as her husband is most angry with what had happened 10 years before.

When the grand-father is released from prison, he would be wise to keep away from the grand-daughter and her husband. The husband may look for him.

He may suffer a violent response at the hands of the husband. An 80 year old grandfather is no match for a strong 27 year old husband.

MID LIFE CRISIS FOR MEN AND WOMEN

The National 13 May 2021

Consultant psychiatrist at Pacific International Hospital said there is no shame in admitting that we need mental health care. Some signs of mental health issues are:

UNHAPPINESS in life and lifestyle that may have previously  provided happiness for many years.

BOREDOM with people and things of previous interest - food, music, friends and places.

FEELING a need for sudden adventure and change.

CONFUSION about identify and self worth.

ANGER with spouse for feeling tied down.

INABILITY to make decisions about where to go next. 

CONTINUED looking back over decisions of the past with options and mistakes.

Before I left Australia, my younger daughter said I was having a massive mid life crisis from work problems. She was probably right. 

I was involved in community affairs and the parish council of the church. There were severe problems starting with the government plan to build the Barwon Correction Centre near the town.

As Secretary of the local branch of the Australian Labor Party, I supported the prison that was more modern than Pentridge prison. 

I lost many friends but was aware of the deep unemployment coming to the district with the closure of the Ford Factory in Geelong.

Then I came to PNG and walked straight into the hate campaign against AIDS Holistics. The campaign cured my mid life crisis and made me stronger. The people have been massively helped.

I was president of the Catholic church school building committee. At a meeting, one stupid member denounced me as a communist.
