Hi
I have been a member for a while. But I rarely post here. On Sunday there was something I kept hearing and seeing in the news. About a woman who was sexually abused decades ago. It triggered pain around rape when I was young. I forgot it for decades. But in recent years I remembered.

I never dealt with it. Mainly because I was not really sure I needed to. But on Sunday I felt triggered. Still do. my screaming a lot finally stopped the monster from doing it a second time. But it took a lot of screaming. And a lot of luck.

Anyway, it was only once. Which I know is miniscule compared to what many others have been through. I just wanted to tell someone. So I came here to post. I have no one irl whom I can tell. Friends want and need me to be strong and steady. So that's the part of me I show them.

Thanks for listening
