Cynthia's's Story

Hi! I was sexually abused by my father from about 7yrs till I was 11, then I was raped by a stranger and my father said I was dirty after that! The physical abuse continued as he was a violent drunk. I became anorexic at 13 when I clicked about reality! All my life I had problems trusting people and never made good friends and we were always moving, my Dad had a temper and would lose jobs easy. Then at 28 I had a SIDS baby, he died at 6weeks. At 30 my partner's best friend raped me 3X over a period of 9months. Inbetween I tried to commit suicide 2X and was in a deep depression, also my dad was murdered.But now I have 2 fantastic children and a wonderful husband. I hope this inspires someone and I would love to talk to anyone who thinks they can't anymore. All I can promise is it does get better one day at a time!!!

Joey's Story

i was raped several times a few years ago by my ex husband. Needless to say it was the worst experience of my life. it took away all my dignity and left me wiht alot of shame. I turned to drugs have been in rehab, but the pain always comes back. i am in therapy and all was going well but I have been going threw a 4 year divorce and just got news that this was going to go on longer. I feel like I cant get this over to have peace. I know no one can understand it, I try to be ok and pull if off for months but in the end the devastation is the same, and I start to ruin all the good things in my life. i guess I just want to hear from someone who can understand
