Rape_The_Forgotten_Word

Rape The Forgotten Word I saw the story about you on 20/20 and it compelled me to write to you. I had quite a time getting to your site, but once I did, i read through a few of the survivor stories you had posted. As I did, I couldn't help but feel the way that I did when I first started trying to heal. All of the stories that I read were about rape, most of them violent..all of them terrifying for the victim. Well, my story is very different...I was not raped, and it was not violent, except in it's aftermath..what it has put me through over the last 10 years. I was sexually molested by my father. So, as I read, I once again experienced the old "demons"..."you weren't attacked...you weren't raped...you shouldn't even feel you were abused..." I had to stop myself and admit that maybe, though I have come a long way, maybe I am not as far as I had thought, or hoped. It was for this reason that I felt I needed to write to you, in the hopes that, like so many before me, you would post my story on your site too, maybe helping someone time, man, started, police, am, raped, out, go, back, said, going, after, just, alone, about, years, turned, son, side, over, myself, made, laid, help, first, body, been, again, water, very, took, sheriffs, put, one, ok, mom
