OMG I'm soooo proud of you!!! =-D Don't even know you but that's so inspirational. I wish I had the courage to do something like that. Only one person in my life know's what happened. He hasn't even heard me say the words in person yet. I've talked around it but haven't said it yet.

*Mega hugs*

Congrats congrats congrats!!

I found when I was finally able to admit it that it made me feel better. Now I am able to talk about it a bit more and not let it have control over me.

good for you!! thats amazing. i've gotten close to saying it a few times but i still haven't worked up the courage...very inspiring :)

I'm really proud of you too...it's so hard to say, but it does feel better to say it. The first time I said it out loud it took me forever to get the words out...still does.

I am so incredibly proud of you too!!!!!

Congrats!!!!!!

It's a great step on your recovery road!!!!!!

Congratulations! That's awesome.

Thanks everyone. It feels so good to have all this support.

My boyfriend just dosn't understand - actually no one who hasn't been though this has.

That's amazing! I still choke on that word. Even to my therapist.

You rock. Hard core. :)

that's awesome!!! i was in a grocery store once and a drunk guy came by and slapped my ass.. i completely blew up at him! i told him that he might not think it's a big deal, but to someone who has been raped and violated so deeply before that it does matter.. and he needs to grow up, keep his hands to himself and stop being an ignorant ass :) so i know how great it feels! i think we all just need to keep speaking up and out, our voice is our power and eventhough we can't change all of society and make everyone stop trivializing it, we can make a difference for ourselves and those around us. that's so awesome you did that! and for those who are scared, i realized that i was afraid of what ppl would say or think.. but my reality is just as important as anyone elses and so is yours! it doesn't matter how ppl react, you have the right to say what you want.. it's for YOU to do :)

wow.. way to liberate yourself. good for you :)

Wow! :D good for you - that's a big step I'm so proud of you :D Saying it really helps.

Good for you! I'm proud of you. I wish I was strong enough to say that to someone like you did. *hugs* good job! be well.

Good for you sister!!! We live in a rape culture when people throw that word around like it's nothing. Congrats to you! How empowering!!!!! ((hugs))

well done! made a point and some progress in your own healing all at the same time.
