Raped
Rape is not merely a physical act..You are raped repeatedly for life!
Raped of the ability to trust other people,
Raped of the ability to maintain healthy relationships,
Raped of your peace of mind,
Raped of your emotional stability,
Raped of your self image,
Raped of your joy,
Raped of your security,
Raped of your independence,
Raped of the potentional to be a healthy, well rounded you!
** If you have been raped, experience incest, or sexual exploitation in any way, SEEK HELP! It never goes away. I repressed my issues for over 20 years and looking back on my life I am sad to think about how my life might have been changed if I sought help. It wasn't until having a daughter of my own that I realized the importance of advocating for women ( and men).
