Angela,
There are still a lot of people that don't get it.
It stinks-and it sure doesn't help us any-like you said. But that's them-it's out of ignorance more than anything-the fact is nothing and i mean nothing justifies rape and sexual abuse. No one asks for that-it isn't sex and it isn't about sex-it's about power. That makes me angry too-society still has a long way to go when it comes to this issue. On the flip side-we've come a long way from where we were-i was raped as a teenager in the seventies-and things were much much different then. There are lot of resources for those of us
who have gone through this-that wasn't always the case. And there are many more convictions than there were then too. No matter what anyone says,
it's not your fault and you didn't deserve it.
