Hi everyone, my name is Steph. I have been struggling with a rape for 7 months now. I have talked with family, a couple friends, and a therapist about it. I am just getting to a place in my recovery where I have started to accept what happened to me, and that it has changed me and will make me different. However, different doesn't mean worse, it just means different. Now I am trying to grieve the losses I've suffered as many of us have. I feel speaking with others who have experienced similar things and can relate to ways I've felt will further help me grieve and recover. I truly look forward
