You just have no idea how your speaking may have affected someone who might have been thinking of ending it all.
By your having the courage to speak, you may have given one person the courage to live. God bless you Little Me, and please take care. Hugs, Lee  |
I don't feel proud of myself but thanks. I did help people, just not myself. Have received lots of messages, fb, email, etc. from people saying how it helped them. Also more victims were identified because nobody knew about what this guy had done so the others shared their story too. Still in the news so I never know when it crops up. My name, details, etc. just keep popping up. I try to keep it from my mind because it is a nightmare that the world might know about what happened. What's also tough is that people see me publicly as in great shape and so put together and doing awesome. In fact, I'm falling apart and a mess inside. My family sees the same strong me too. It's what I need to do because I don't know how to be vulnerable to others. But..... it's lonely and I feel just as alone as I did for all those earlier years.
