One thing that struck me (!) was thinking about whether any of the physical forces that hit me would have left any visible marks long enough for any doctor to detect them...

Lack of evidence for the abuse we KNOW we suffered is always difficult to deal with ... so sorry that you have to.

yes, it is difficult, isn't pachy?

i must admit i was a bit concerned when i read it, but i was like, anything to increase awareness must be good, right? but i am also worried about things like you pointed out - a lot of what i went through didn't leave physical injuries. but it still happened. would they call these expert witnesses forward who would have nothing to say on my case and thereby prove it didn't happen?

i am sure these ppl setting it up are very smart though, and have considered all of this.
