Today is one month
One month since my life was changed forever
One month since you betrayed my trust
One month since I was violated
by you
One month since my world shattered...almost
One month since I started lying to my family, my friends...
myself
One month is such a short time to start picking up the pieces
One month of going through the motions of putting my life back together
One month of curling up in the darkness...and finding my way to the light...
again and again and again
One month of explaining to my friends that I don't know how I feel
or how they can help
One month of not sleeping, not eating and not caring...almost
One month of writing, crying, cringing, raging, hiding....
laughing
One month of identifying what you took that night
and beginning to reclaim what was lost
One month of trying to be a mother, friend, daughter and...
rape victim
One month of struggling to be all those things and not knowing how
One month of living with confusion, fear and pain
One month since you raped me
Only one month
I'm better now

A record of my recovery from Sexual Assault and/or Rape. The label doesn't matter. That it happened does.
Just another voice demanding to be heard
Potential trigger
Warning - this is unsettling and can be a triggering event for some folks. The magic words are sexual assault and non-consent.

This is really good. Hard to believe it has been a month since this happened. You are working through this and remember, your friends are here for you.
Thanks lb. If it weren't for friends like you then working through this seems impossible.
... and I have an email in my in-box from you, dated 10/11. From the date of this post, I'm guessing that was the day before this vile thing hap'd to you?
Now I'm thinking it's best to just let that email thread lie & we'll pick up somewhere else.... especially considering part of that discussion was about dating.
but.... LOL @ the fact there's another "LB" around your parts. ;)
hi there lb (deuce) = yeah, it is kinda funny!!
Actually, dating is going well - will send an email later and fill you in on the details ;))

Go girl, don't let it take you over. Beat it. You surely can beat it.
Hi, DG.
Hey you: I've got your back, hun.
You're one of the "goodins'"...
...and, you can always count on me
to be a friend.
