In my first interview with another survivor of sexual abuse, we hear the story of my sweet friend who shares about the struggles that happen when your boyfriend rapes you. It’s often believed or said that someone you’re in a relationship cannot in fact sexually assault you for many reasons, and we address why this simply is not true. We explore the struggles that come with and after an abusive relationship and my friend shares the reality of the healing process that she has recently started since her abuse. If you have been in a relationship where abuse a occurred, I hope that at least some of this story can make you feel heard and seen. For those that haven’t experienced this, I hope you can find better understanding of how rape can still occur in a relationship, and be able to support and believe more survivors that share their stories!
