This past month I was raped.
Why announce it? Why not?
Raped is an ugly word, and an even uglier experience.
I blog for women who have been through horrible experiences.
And 17 years after seeking shelter for an abusive relationship, something else happened.
And the thing is, it must be talked about. All people who experience such a violation must have the freedom to talk about it.
I thought I had come so far in life. I mean hey, my blog is about empowering women. But abusers don't care who you are or what you have accomplished or overcome, they just take, impose and violate. They are like Terminators, and thye just don't care.
All I can say, is: he didn't know that he couldn't isolate me, continue to violate me...I had experience, I knew the red flags...I will overcome!
I am getting a 2nd printing on my book, but you can still go check it out:

Creating a safe place in which women can share their concerns, their victories and their feelings regarding rising out of abusive situations. Sometimes you may not have anyone to talk with about this; I am here. I have been where you are. If you need immediate assistance, dial 911.
