Hello Sandy,

My name is keyona. I was sexually abused by my step father from 7-13. I reported the rape, but after a trial he was let off & came back to live with us. I ran away from home at 16 and haven't looked back. I wish things would have ended a diffrent way but they didn't. I felt very dirty and still do to this day. I take like 2 hour showers sometimes when i feel really bad.

I haven't had a boyfriend since the rape not really read to take that step yet. but when i do i would have to come up with a plan or something so that it doesn't happen again....well look at me rembling on & on....my bad

I think it was a great thing that you reported your boyfriend. Some people never get the courage to tell. I've learned the most important thing is breaking the silence.

Stay Strong & Hang In There :)

Hello Sandy and StillStanding

My hat is off to you both for breaking your silence. I agree! There is almost nothing more important. You are not alone, but when you break your silence, you really are not alone because there are others around you who care and you are telling whoever you break it with that YOU ARE NOT TO BLAME!!!!! Good for you.

Many blessings, peace, and light to you both...

With a grateful heart, I am

I think it takes a lot of courage to report rape, and I think you did a good job reporting it! I know it can cause restless nights, I still have those time to time.

I think it's great that you broke the silence. You deserve all the best, and if anyone tries to threaten you, you have the right to report them.
