By: A Survivor Not a Victim
April 3, 2016
So, I have been slowly telling family and friends what happened to me.
Last night, I decided to tell someone I wasn’t sure I should. But I told her because I trusted her.
The really sad thing is, after I told her, she told me that she was raped in college, and she shared her story.
What is even worse, she is not the first woman that I told who, in turn, disclosed that she was also raped.
In fact, several of the men I have told personally know someone (friend or family member ) who has been raped, and I find this truly disturbing! The number of people I have shared my story with, and I mean had actual conversations with, not just via posting my story or through promoting the walk I’m doing, is a fairly small number.

Thank you. I hope so too! Honestly I think it’s just something that any decent person should do. I hope there are more out there.
