The second victim of my rapist took her life and her son's life over the weekend. This is tragic and I have thought of little else but the senselessness of all of this since I found out. I feel angry at him, at her, at me. This scares me because it makes me feel like I am now left to pick up the pieces that he left behind. I am the only evidence left of his actions.
So I have vowed to myself and the world that I won't end up like her and I won't give into the depression and carnage he left. I am not broken and I am beautiful and strong enough to overcome this. I will thrive regardless (and in spite) of the mess he left behind. I have to believe that I am a beautiful person and that the world would be a darker place without me in it.
I know this sounds like a bunch of bolstering and maybe it is but I feel like if I didn't put this to words I would find his second victim's actions too tempting. Please reach out we are all beautiful and deserve better than the way we have been treated. HOPELESS CANNOT HAVE THE LAST WORD!

While it is true that I am a licensed psychologist, I am here as a survivor, I do not work for pandys and anything I say should be taken as advice from a survivor and not that of a professional psychologist. Please refer to the crisis information within the site and know that everyone heals differently.
