Dear Info,

I was catching up on the week’s news and the stories about Franken led me to an article related to him because one of his interns pled guilty

Possible trigger:

to rape at UMN a few years back. Really violent rape—he clawed her, he bit parts of her breasts away, he tore her tongue.

And instant flashback. Two of the injuries were very similar to what mine did to me. And throw in multiple attacks, being restrained...I feel very very sick suddenly.

We talked about the assault a little and then I pulled back because things in other areas were getting bad, I was sh-ing, and it was just too much. And, I just don’t want to go back there right now because I still feel so fragile.

But, I can’t go through another cycle of flashbacks and nightmares alone.
