This self-blame happens because we think we could have done more, but the rape itself is always the full responsibility of the perpetrator. It's awful. It's unfair and it's sickening. Thank you for showing your daughter that you put the blame squarely where it belongs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765226638470869844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395057320612119120.post-29164881781662958362014-06-01T16:45:12.257-07:002014-06-01T16:45:12.257-07:00<3 so so so much love for you my friend.

I had called a girlfriend to come with me so I wouldn't be alone. It didn't matter. They had a gun. They brought us to a dark street, where there was a crowd of about 20 other guys. They had an older gentleman that lived on the street who was a friend. They raped me. All 4 of them raped me. I stayed silent about this until my early 20's. I was 14 at the time it happened. To this day only my mom and close friends know because I feel shamed to talk about it with my family. Ashamed to say I'm a victim. Why? This whole shooting issue lately have brought up so many feelings I have tried to keep bottled up for a long time. I can't stop crying. I'm having frequent nightmares about it, but I still keep to myself and don't talk about it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239426947712853112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395057320612119120.post-28780488903365456572014-06-01T16:40:51.685-07:002014-06-01T16:40:51.685-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239426947712853112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395057320612119120.post-87328338005769741872014-03-03T20:07:28.226-08:002014-03-03T20:07:28.226-08:00Hug.
