I am just starting a little thread where maybe we could all comment one general thing we wish we had been told when we were assaulted/raped to help people who are having a hard time coping.

I am having a super hard time my thinking about my assault when I was a child with all of the coverage about assault in the news. I am not made that it’s happening, in fact I’m glad that it’s being recognized.

This is my way of trying to help others who are having a hard time.

So to you all I say:

It isn’t your fault. Don’t blame yourself.
