Let the healing begin within. [View all]
There is no way to undo the damage we have suffered.
How do we forgive the deed that cannot be undone.
No amount if vengeance or punishment toward the perpetrator will be enough ...
So, we need to let the healing to begin within:
to forgive ourselves ...
because it was not our fault, no matter what lies we were told.
Our sexual abuse, rape, was done to us without our consent.
So now we are serving a lifetime sentence, carrying memories that will never go away.
We go on with our lives, forgetting as much as we can each day ...
until rape culture news shatters our peace of mind. Bringing with it the anger we've chosen to forget. Now, it's back. Daily there is an onslaught of events we can no longer ignore.
What do we do. Sigh. Personally, I will speak out against those who condone slut shaming, those who rape, those who photograph and share. These are my rapist, again and again.
They must be stopped.
