In today’s world, females are blamed if they “put themselves” in situations where they are taken advantage of or sexually assaulted. The sad part about these situations is that statistics show that 80-90% of women who disclosed their attack actually knew the attacker. For many of us, we didn’t grow up with anyone we could really trust. Therefore, it’s not always a surprise we can’t trust again. We become “numb.” We “put it behind us.” We keep it in and continue to live life as if nothing happened. We never talk about it. It’s time to start talking. It’s time to really allow ourselves to HEAL. It’s not about trying to fit in anymore. It’s about standing out and taking a stand against those who can’t get to us without force or us being under the influence. We aren’t weak though. In all reality, they are weak!
