I was raped at 17. I have always said it doesn't bother me and I have no issues from it. But I am realizing years down the road how much it effects my relationships. I'm scared I will never be normal.

As a rape survivor, I know that therapy from a professional is best. As much as my boyfriend wants to help me, it's out of his hands. This hurts him, but it's the truth.

My boyfriend doesn't understand how sexual abuse affects me. He thinks I'm just argumentative when deep down I am so scarred. I'm just curious why a guy would date me.

I said no tonight to someone who wanted to sleep with me after a date. It felt good to stand my ground. As a rape survivor, sometimes it’s not easy to do so.

Not a fun talk to have.

As a rape survivor, I never know when and how to tell my new partner about what happened.
