TRIGGER WARNING: references to rape
Everyone called him Uncle
because he was older
but older doesn't mean wiser
it just means better an manipulating
He should have known better
than to seduce a naive broken 19 year old
but he didn't
he saw me for what I was
young and stupid and desperate for love
He made his play
He would say strange things to me
like I was too pretty to not have been a slut
When he raped me it wasn't violent
we were alone in his room
and I didn't fight it because
I didn't want to make a scene
didn't want to get caught
breaking the rules
again
when the nurse and director
already hated that they had
to babysit a self harmer
and I'd already be threatened
more than once
with expulsion from the program
so I did nothing
The only person who knew
was the chaplain and I never
mentioned to word rape
but I think he understood
because of the insane age gap
between myself and this man
that everyone called Uncle
I only managed to escaped him
by finding someone scarier
to hide behind
but that's a whole other story

Chills. Sadly, this is the story of so many, Indie.
So. Many.
Publishing experiences such as these become lights that inundate readers who have experienced their own tales the courage to speak up.
Thank you for sharing.

I’m sorry this happened to you.
Your truth is a sledgehammer. I hope it feels good to hit some shit.

Thank you Betty. It's about fucking time I hit the coffin of memories that won't stay buried anyway. Definitely a massive trauma purge going on in my soul right now. It feels necessary.
