Beautiful wench and sweet friend...
I don't feel brave much, just feel....driven, I guess. Like, I must tell this...I must tell this. It falls under my everything happens for a reason philosophy. I never really talked about this, except to bond with another survivor. Thank you for your admiration and loving words. You always know the perfect thing to say. I'm sure I could have written the story better, but I just felt the need to tell it and get it over with. It feels good to share it with you.

Not only are you beautiful, but so very brave, too ...
thank you for sharing Trinity's story and your story ... it is heart-breaking and gut-wrenching and I admire your honesty and bravery so much. Indeed, the numbers must be higher than we dare imagine. You have written with such heart, in a way that takes us beyond the coldness of statistics and makes us see the real people therein and gives me hope that you will inspire others to be as brave as you.
What a heart you have, beautiful girl, I am thinking of you and Trinity muchly .

Shadow, unfortunately that is so true.
I think the emotional and mental abuse can last for such a long time and seep into our lives in ways we didn't expect. It's so subtle sometimes. Unfortunately, as I'm realizing all these years later, the physical takes something from us that we may never get back. I would chose the former over the latter...because trust me when I say, any man ever touches me that way again and he won't live to tell the tale. Thank you for sharing that with me here, and, no, unfortunately we are not remotely alone in this.
Oh, one point I forgot, Willie IS that fucker's real name.

Temple,
In many ways women are raped. Not just physical, but mental, and emotional also. Sometimes I can't decide which was the worse of the three for me. I do know I'm not alone, will never be alone. Shadow

vivid writing....
helps people see that rape isn't erotic. sometimes when you want to throw something, say a flip flop, its better to throw than pretend you don't want to...garbage cans go flying thru the air

Cass, this one was a pretty scary one to put out there.
I felt it was long past time to tell this story. I have never told this to anyone in any real detail, this is the first. Now, with my sweet friend in pain, it was just the right time. I think I have had so much happen in my life so that I could delve into it and maybe someone else might find some value there. To be in awe of my writing...it's such a high compliment, I don't know what to say. Expecially after reading this because I don't remember writing it really. Cass, thank you, as always.

Temple, I am shivering from reading this. Once again I am in awe of your writing and of your willingness to delve into subjects others wouldnt touch. I know of girls who have gone through date rape and its not a pretty subject.
