I'm sorry you had to experience that darkness in your life.

We need to care for each other more.

This is what makes the rapepublicans behaviour so awful.

I was sexually assaulted by our family doctor, a relative, who was doing routine physical exams for our mission requirements when I was 15 years old.

When I told my mom, she ignored me.
Later on, in my 30s, I filed a complaint against him with the medical board.

It was the reason I turned to an all natural, organic diet, to make sure I never got sick and had to see a doctor again.

There is a huge percentage of men and women who have never talked about their childhood and teenage abuse for many reasons, all different and personal, who are now having those memories triggered by the news of the day, and feeling a need to speak out, whether to people close to them or strangers. It's good to speak out. Seems to be a good time for many of us to revisit our healing. Seeing justice done in our governmental system would help, I think.

Sorry that it happened to you and all those other women out there.

I am so sorry you had such awful experiences. Hugs
