Dear Survivors,
I want to take some time to tell you that I believe you! I am here for you and I support you. What happened to you is probably the worst and hardest thing you will ever go through. There will be days that you will want to give up, DON”T!!!! This person may have taken your sense of safety, your trust, and your innocence, but he cannot take your strength, toughness, and courage!
Find someone you can talk to about your trauma. A trusted friend, a therapist, or a family member. Take it at your own pace as well. Don’t let anyone rush you into telling your story. When it’s your time, you will know.
It took me 24 years after my rape to seek help and let me tell you, it’s the best thing I ever did for myself!! I am gaining strength and self-esteem. When I was raped that was all taken from me. 45 minutes of hell took so much from me, but I’m taking it all back. Plus MORE! He took 24 years and that stops now. You seek help whenever you feel ready. Don’t rush into anything you are not ready for.
I love you and remember you are more than what happened to you. You are strong, loved, and most of all ALIVE! Continue to care for yourself and keep jumping those hurdles. Stay positive and keep your head up!
Love always, Laura
