Message to a Survivor

It’s so tough, I’m not gonna lie. Some days it’s hard to see the silver lining. Some days justice and hope seem non existent. But it does get easier. And one day it will be a distant memory

Message of Healing

Healing to me is something I see I will be doing until I die. My healing is slow, I suffer daily nightmares, insomnia, depression, and flashbacks (sometimes hrs long). I have stress induced tics and live in constant anxiety. It’s gotten better, but this month is the one year anniversary. Next month will be one year of losing my baby. Healing is being able to accept it happened and was not my fault. Healing was and is sharing my story and seeking justice.

I was raped by my ex, in my apartment, while I was intoxicated. I was under the impression we were drinking together, but he stopped before me. Before I could realize he had stopped drinking I was black out drunk and in and out of consciousness. I only remember He digitally and orally raped me vaginally and anally. I had a suspected miscarriage a month later, and from an infection he gave me, I suspect he did more that night when I was unconscious. I have reported to police and I’m waiting on grand jury deliberation for a felony rape charge against him. He lives a minute from me and until I’m financially able I’m unable to move, so everyday I live in fear. He used to share fantasies of raping me by breaking in so I have safety measurements in place.
