" truthfully, you might not get over it for a while unless you get help. its been ten years for me. i was five. rape is something that is so hard to get over, especially when it was done by someone you trusted. it still hurts, i get taht. but the thing is, you don't need to get over it. you need to accept it. and i think we're both a while away from that \: and not accept it like, say heyy i was raped! but accept it, like say, yeah i was raped. and it wasn't my fault. it hurt,and its always gonna hurt. but its behind me now. and now i have the future to look forward to. IM me if you want to talk :) im finally trying to work through mine, and i think we could help eachother. just remember, im here for you if you need any help "

" You never get over it. Plain and simple. I know that isn't the answer any of us want to hear but it is true. You never get over the act and the memories, you just heal and heal until it doesn't bother you every day. It may come up only twice a year. It becomes easier to deal with and one doesn't think about it every day.

The thing is we will all get through it together. We help each other every day and it is amazing how much support is here. We will help you deal with the problems and emotions you are feeling until you heal enough for it not to be bothersom. I still have a long way to go. (((HUGS))) I am here if you need any help with anything. take care. "
