Hello

[Mip]

Hi,

I'm Merrie. I was acquaintance raped (twice), the first time almost 19 years ago (anni is in Jan). Although it was a long time ago, I have only just started to really work on my issues because I pretty much just stuffed it inside and didn't deal with it.

I wish the Internet had been available after I'd been raped, it might have made a difference. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.
