Yeah, recovery from that kind of violation is very hard.

Yay!
One thing I keep touching on is that the Maldives makes an excellent place for recovery of all kinds. While it is possible to be depressed on a beautiful tropical island full of fresh air, sunlight, scenic views, fresh food, and all kinds of actvities ... it's a lot harder to stay depressed there than in a cramped ugly environment like most cities. Activity and depression don't like to live together, and on a small island with no gas cars, most people walk or bike to get around. It helps.
