Here's my secret:
I was abused. I was raped. I was hit.
He tried to take my life.
I cried every day for two years.
I live every day in fear of seeing this man again.
I can't even sleep because there he is, haunting my dreams.
I only let people think that my anti-depressant drugs are working.
That sweet little blonde girl you see laughing all over campus?
That's me.

I hope so much that you have someone you can talk to about what you've been through. Even if you don't, you've got someone who's praying for and thinking of you.

I feel your pain. I was raped too. Typing that seems strange to me. I haven't told anyone because I don't want to be "that girl who was raped."

"that girl who was raped" seemed to be reason enough for me to repress what actually happened for over a year.

My excuse was that I didn't tell him 'no.' I just didn't say anything at all.

He was my friend, too.

You're not alone. I hope you can find happiness.
