This is a support site...I would ask for some now please

A man should never lay hands on a woman, period, not tolerated. Sorry Grace for the hassle and upset. Hope the ### gets his comeuppance. That really sucks, the guy is a coward. It’s so refreshing in you caring for your team, stay strong. Katie 💋💋

Grace,

You are most assuredly not alone!   What a horrible event…. I too would cry, and be very angry.  When the vulnerable are abused it diminishes all of us… I hope she recovers as quickly and as completely as possible - this will be an emotional burden for her (and you) for some time to come and there’s little that will help ease that pain right now….  I will be praying for both of you…, and no you are not over reacting in the least - your compassion speaks well of you…even though it may feel so painful at the moment.  You’re a beautiful person - inside and out, and I’m sure your work friend is as well, and that’s what makes it hurt so much….

Hi Grace,

I can't see anything wrong with crying about this. Have a good cry and work it through. I hope your friend bounces back in time.

I try to be even handed and remind myself there are some really not very nice female versions of the human race too, But I do despair of the male side of it sometimes. They can just heartlessly think nothing of such behaviour. This man's social group of friends should just tell him in no uncertain terms that it's not acceptable.

So Sorry Grace!! You have every right to be More then upset.. It's Bull Shit that it even happen, Lock him up for good!! You are Def not alone, You're Huge Heart is hurting, Let the tears go and You're strength will catch you from falling... And so will We.....!!

Katie women also abuse men. Nobody should have face physical or verbal abuse from anybody. It’s wrong and anybody who physically or verbally abuses someone has to be called out.
There’s no harm in crying whoever you are

That is awful Grace, how dare he. My son manages a restaurant and the stories he's got of peoples behaviour would scare you and it's people who are frustrated with covid restrictions which they are only following the rules imposed on them, he didn't make them up. Food thrown at him, sworn at, bad service reports he has to explain.

You go ahead and have yourself a good cry love, you've got to let your feelings out, bottling it up is even worse especially if you suffer with depression.

You take care Grace, love Heather.

Hi Grace,

You have a good right to be upset and angry and a huge mix of emotions.  As for crying, I do it at the drop of a hat, and have always thought that rubbish about 'men don't cry' was just that, rubbish.

No one has the right to physically, or mentally, abuse someone else, irrespective of gender.  It's just plain wrong.  There is no excuse. Ever. Ok, other than self defence....

I'm angry and upset with you.  I hope you and your colleague come through this ok.  I also hope that guy is successfully prosecuted.

Hugs,

Isabel x

Grace, our arms are all around you.
While I would cry, I would also allow my anger to surface, and make sure this cretin receives the punishment he s richly deserves. Be sure management follows up on it, whether he is a local, or a visitor, be sure the assault is noticed, in the paper, if they still exist there, or through the public.
Stand by your friend, my friend, and be who you are, sweet Grace, you are who we love, just as you are, we would not have you change, but we are here for you, from wherever we may be
Extra big hugs,Regi👸💖

Hi Sweetie, there is nothing wrong with crying its a natural emotion. God bless you for being so caring,i"m sure your friend is thankful  for your support. I hope her employers see fit to prosecute the thug, and a lifetime ban too. Bless you xx

Grace, have a good cry and let those emotions of anger and sorrow flow out through your tears and know that there was nothing you could have possibly done to prevent this from happening. I'm so sorry the girl was attacked. The world today seems to be more angry than ever with little tolerance of the slightest thing. Happy to hear the guy was arrested. We are here for you sweetie.

I knew you would come through, because every girl that has answered is beautiful and it makes such a difference...living on my own, I can be me...but I so needed the huggs.....I love you all...I'm not responding to individual's...This is not a thanks hunt!!!!!

I feel I need to sit back and take you all in!!!!

Ps....I have told the owners that if this " person " is not prosecuted, I'm leaving...see how that lies!!!

Good that he is arrested Grace !
I hope he get's plenty of prison time for this.
I know what my male side would like to do to that AssXXXX , but luckely
my Femme side would probably prevent me from doing that if I would experience something like that happening to one of my loved ones.
The only thing you can do Grace is give that girl all the support you can give her, and maybe talk to the management about stepping up security , so if this happens again , people can react faster to it.
About the part that men don't cry : of course they do , at least they should !
Keeping grief inside , not expressing it is not healthy.
This is 2021 , we should know better already...

Love Sylvia.

So for you and your colleague Grace. It’s so hard dealing with the public. Many have mental health problems, stresses, or are just plain mean. Glad he was arrested. I’m a frontline nurse and physical and mental abuse is not uncommon from patients and their visitors!

Nothing wrong with a good cry, shows your compassion. My only advice would be to get together with your team and cry together, promise they will be feeling the same and sharing hard times is a great help. It’s good to let it all out on company of others who feel the same.

Stay strong and keep yer chin up my friend.

❤️Bianca

Hi Grace, I am so outraged and saddened by what happened to your team member! It's not the human race that is bad - just a neandrathol that somehow didn't die out with those of his kind. I am, however ashamed to be a male much of the time. Maybe why I want to transition so badly. So, weep for the loss of civility and good manners that used to be the norm.
