That's definitely how I looked at it too, but then I heard Christina Enevoldsen's story were she was sued by her mother and father for writing about being an incest survivor. Her parents didn't want to be called abusers. The only reason the suit was dropped was because her father died.

I realize that being a speaker for RAINN could get one sued for defamation and writing a blog would be libel. Of course, the defense is that it's the truth and the truth sets us free, but I don't want to end up in court having to look at my abuser and prove what he did to me 30 years ago actually happened. And words of caution from Enevoldsen just make me more nervous:

I’ve heard from many survivors who have assumed they can’t be sued because they don’t name their abuser or they use a pseudonym to write their story. Another misconception is that writing your own story as a fictional story will guard you from a lawsuit. However, those won’t necessarily protect you.

It just feels like the lack of control just goes on and on.
