Night before last, my wife (23 years together) told me that at 14 she was raped by a classmate while another classmate looked on.
She named names, gave details. This was the first time she had told anyone because she felt ashamed and did not want to disappoint her family. 1/3

This has been an incredibly painful trauma for her, that has been manifesting and haunting her for 40 years.She has agonized over the last two days whether to reveal it publicly, and decided, because it might help others, to have me post this because I have a lot of followers.2/3

This is not my story, nor will I elaborate, except to ask you to recognize how difficult this is for her and any survivor of sexual assault. She has spent her life
recovering and is perhaps the kindest person I know. "There are more of us than there are not," She said. 3/3

I tried to tell my dad the night of my attack when I was 17, he stopped me and said we will never talk of this again. Never said another word until after metoo I told my mom, she then told me what happened when she was 6. You find support you never knew you had

Thank you for sharing that. I'm sorry that happened to you. I hope going forward we can all learn to be better fathers, better friends, better men. Today is not that day, but the dialog needs to go to sex education addressing consent and support.

Something similar happened to me 30+ years ago. Last week, I told my husband about it for the first time. There are more of us than there are not. Absolutely.

Excruciatingly sad and maddening. Please ask her to go to the authorities, if she's willing. Take those bastards down, if you're in a state without a stat. of lims.

I understand your reflex, but it's not up to us men to make that decision, nor does she want to focus the energy of her life to relive an event that she's been trying to recover from for 40 years.+ there's a backlog of over 6000 unprocessed contemporary rape kits in the CA system

Oh! The cost of telling; the cost of not telling. All it costs is everything.

You’re so right. I just told a total stranger on twitter and he basically said it has nothing to do with what’s being discussed today. Just made my pain worse
