Someone You Know
Rape is only something that happens to other people until it happens to you. And, yes, it’s mostly done to you by someone you know as it was done to me not once, but three times. The trauma lingers on forever.

Date Rape
I am a rape survivor. Those words have taken me years of therapy to say out loud because just like the title of the book from 1994, I Never Called it Rape. I am just one of many statistics on rape: I am one of the 1 in 5 women...

Finally Sharing
My story is old nearly two decades and yet it as if my rape was yesterday. I have done a lot of healing absolutely but this type of trauma never leaves you – it shapes you. I feel sad about the circumstances around my rape and as others have experienced...

Molested by my biological father

First Encounter
My first encounter with molestation was when I was 5. I am a shy and quiet person by nature so I dealt with the game that she called “doctor” for years. It always made me uncomfortable but I kept quiet about it. When i was 12, I was molested in...

Rape inside marriage is still rape…
I was married. I had a child. My husband was going through some midlife crisis of sorts. He drank more and more frequently in greater quantities. When he drank he wanted sex. I knew he didn’t want me because my weight repulsed him. And yet when he drank he wanted...
