No one could have prepared me mentally for how I would feel when that night was over, but someone could've explained to me what rape was.  What it looked like.  The statistics; how to protect myself & what to do IF I was ever put into the situation.

If you, or someone you know has experienced a traumatic assault, PLEASE know that you are not alone & even if it's scary and confusing, talking to someone about it will help.  My heart aches for your pain, but I'm here to remind you that you can heal.
