Mistaken Identity

Isn’t Any Proof
I was raped 5 months ago by a man I kind of “dating”. I had invited him around to my house to watch a film with me and he suddenly got pushy. I kept saying no, and he kept going. He gave me an infection because he didn’t use a...

Assaulted By Family Member
His name is Michael. He still exists in the same world as me. I have seen him in passing cars, in the store, and he is often suggested to me as a ‘person I might know’ on Facebook. He has (or had) a wife and a few children, three or...

Set Up
This is crazy because this is the first time I’ve ever publicly talked about it. Not even many of my friends know. I always say “something transpired in college.” It’s my way of not dealing with it. Well, by the subject I’m sure you’re wondering what I mean by set...

Being Done
My young childhood was mostly good. My mom, who did 80% of the parenting, died unexpectedly when I was 10. My dad attacked me from ages 12-15. My younger brother and I were in and out of the foster care system (we got sent back to him). Mercifully, we were...

Different face, but the same monster
It started when I was 5…he was a trusted friend of a neighbors family…I can still remember his smell, some 20 years later…’If you tell anyone that I touch you, I’ll hurt you’ he would say, and then throw me to the ground and walk away…fast forward 10 years, same...

So Long Ago But Still With Me
More than thirty years ago I was drugged and raped by the man I was dating at the time and two of his friends. I was so numb the next day, I could not register what happened beyond the fact that I’d “lost” an entire night of my life. The...

Leaving the party

A Part of My Twenties
When strange men rubbed their erections against me on a crowded subway car, or masturbated themselves in front of me when the car was empty, I just pretended it wasn’t happening. I figured that’s what I got for living in the city. When they grabbed and groped and said belittling...

My sexual assault will not define me

Aftermath
