By: A Survivor Not a Victim
March 16, 2016
I was raped in February of 2016 when I was 32 years old. I never thought this would happen to me, but then again, who does?
The road to recovery takes work; coping and healing from this ordeal has been a relentless uphill battle.
I’ve created this blog as a space to share my thoughts, emotions, and research, with a primary focus on supporting survivors of rape, sexual assault, and domestic violence and spreading awareness. My aim is to provide a refuge where readers can find stories, articles, advice, and coping strategies, knowing they are not alone in their struggles.
A Survivor Not a Victim 
I was raped over a period of 3 months when I was 8, my mother only found out because my sister said something about me screaming in my sleep. I was put on the stand at 8 no preparation just called up, I don’t remember much except I kept fidgeting with a string on my shirt because I refused to wear dresses and then he sighed and I peed my pants. I knew he went right back to work at the ice cream store his family owned. Then I buried everything so deep no one could get me to even recall it. 9 years later I went to an OB because I had always have problems and the doctor told me to put my feet in the stirups and I freaked full ptsd attack. I couldn’t fuction for a week, I buried it for 9 YEARS you are working on it in the same year, I have to do hypnosis to recall some things and to stay calm. You are amazing. All of us SURVIVED being abused we are SURVIVORS. WAY better than that TV show “Survivor” too!
