Resurrection After Rape Community Group
Discussion, question-and-answer, general social support, and journal processing for progress-oriented rape survivors. No crisis, no damaging or triggering conflicts--this is for individuals who want to contribute to collective, cooperative action toward the goal of making actual PROGRESS through rape trauma. Much of this work is based on the book "Resurrection After...
Okay, I received a parting private message prior to a particular controversial account's closure that resolves this matter--the narrative was a hoax.
The bad news is that the internet will always be a place for these stunts.
The good news is that plenty of people had previously contacted me to share their concerns as well, demonstrating that RAR is an accurately-vigilant group of people. We all try to hold out the most patient examples of trust because we all know that trauma can certainly impact our perceptions, but that was not the case here after all.

And Catroot...you met us in person and we are all credible folks. Like I said in Brit's journal, it sucks that 98% of us can be legitmate and it takes just 2 % to leave us feeling so betrayed. I feel the same as you on that. Matt and Leitha seem to have processed that first fraud very well...I wish I had paid more attention to the need to process this stuff. This one is just a painful reminder.
that thread had made me feel very uncomfortable too.
dont know what else to say really. what a horrible thing it was to do.
So may awesome people here!
Leitha, you are right the responding posts still stand in truth. : )
And I think it is good to process a fraud as well~!!
It really really sucks that there are people out there that are so mentally ill that they need to make up something as horrible as being raped to get attention, but as Judy said we all have to separate those few fakes from the 100 percent genuine people that I have met here and at the retreat.
You all are awesome and have been and continue to be such a big part of my healing, so thank you all for being genuine, and real.
Also thank you Matt for taking care of all of this with everything you have going on at home.
For those who read the intervention I wrote before I removed the topic, I meant that I said at the end: I respect Survivors and the struggle for justice far too much to see it made light of.
I have a fear she will re-appear here under a different name. I have feared being scrutinized by her, from a distance, with me being oblivious.
I didn't name those whose contributions to her were so apparent...Judy...you were the "mentor". She threw away so very much - the value of which she was too self-indulgent to recognize. Again -- her loss.
