I will never forget the night a close friend opened up to me, she told me that she had been raped seven months prior by her boyfriend, yet she still could not tell her story properly.While I was mostly silent that night, I whispered to her and said that it was not her fault, but I also wanted to say, "I was raped too."Image used for illustration purposes only.
