    I am a victim of sexual assault... 
     

    Quote

    Canada has a broad definition of sexual assault. It includes all unwanted sexual activity

      U.S. Federal law define it this way, as well. It is an umbrella term that includes all unwanted sexual activity. I'm sure many places across the world have their own definition or lack thereof. Just wish those laws worked better for most. 

      Safe hugs to you, if ok. :hug:

      @MeBeMary i only quoted that because it was from the law. ive had a bad habit of denying myself and have recently started crawling my way out of a long dark tunnel to realize that "this is me" (not that its "me" but that it includes me and i deserve better).
      i wish the law did more for people, anyone thats been wronged for any reason, but sadly its not perfect. i havent gone to court, but this law is helping me in the moment... i didnt want it and that all that matters...

      and thank you for the hugs 🤗

      Those three words, if by law or by morality, does include you. If you need to remind yourself, I'm all for it. You also speak the truth, as you deserved better, as we all deserved better. 

      Perhaps quoting law for yourself will also remind others what it does mean and give them less doubt, as well.

      Worst feeling. When I saw mine I was grateful I was sitting because my vision got wonky and I felt like I was going to pass out.

      I'm sorry Croft, that must have been tough. Can't imagine how i'd feel if i saw my perp.

    I don't feel like a survivor...

      Sitting with you, Croft. ❤️ You are a survivor. You're here, you've survived.

    'im not ok' but i cant say it. "im fine" is all i know even though im very open about my mental problems and past

    1. Finchy

      Finchy

      Sitting with you, Croft. ❤️ I can relate. It can be so hard to say the words, "I'm not okay." My gf asks me everyday, sometimes several times a day, how I'm doing. I always say "I'm fine." Even if that isn't the truth. It's just so hard to say otherwise.

    I feel I'm being crushed under my own weight. 

    I feel like the current is pulling me under.

      I'm sorry you are struggling. You are stronger than you know, tho. Keep fighting. 

      Safe hugs, if ok. :hug:

    The kitchen is my home. My safe place. As long as I have a kitchen, a place to get lost in the crunch of veggies under a sharp blade, the sizzle of the meat in a pan, the whirr of appliances, the smell of food flooding my nose, i can be ok.

    TRIGGER WARNING
    i didnt know where to share this or even why im sharing it. 
    but there is one line that stuck out to me
    "r*pe is not about sex. it's about power and privilege"
    i dont know about the privilege part, but the way he looked at me, the way i felt judged and how he said "i can force you".........tells me enough........ 

     

  11. Croft

    i encouraged it though......

      The blame rests with the person that hurt you. Period. Sending you strength!

    2. Finchy

      Finchy

      As AKB said, the blame is all on the other person that hurt you. It's not your fault. You didn't deserve it. Sitting with you, if you'd like. ❤️

      No, love. You didn't. You did not ask for the pain you are in now...in any way. Sitting with you.

    truamaversary 

    so im at another one of these (having 2, one at the beginning of summer and one at the end, really makes summer blow 🙄). 
     

    i havent seen or heard from him in years. and yet still just the thought of him is controlling. thinking about the way he towers over me, how hes stronger than me, i just colipase and give in. because of this thought, the possibility of ever seeing him again scares me. no one, makes me feel the way he does.... no one, sends my insides crashing in the way he does. and i dont know how to make this feeling go away.....

    1. BrightSide

      Im sorry your struggling. Traumaversaries suck 😞 Sitting with you, if you would like company?

    2. Finchy

      I'm so sorry you're struggling with another traumaversary. :( Sending you lots of support and comfort. Sitting with you, too, if you'd like. ❤️

      @MeBeMary @mini.finch thank you 🤗. While I'm not physically alone I'm sure it's understood the way disorders/problems you can't/dont want to talk about are.
