Ninety-nine percent and what happens to survivors who speak out
This is not a post about income inequality. This is a post about the “other” ninety-nine percent. This is a post about the statistical fact that 99 percent of perpetrators of rape walk free among us.

The girl I would do anything for – update coming soon
It has been more than one year since I saw her last.
She is still in the custody of known rapist – Cole Mooridian. He left her bedroom door open while he raped her babysitter in their home in June 2017. While there is little more I can do to help her, the one thing I can do is write.

I was never your cure.
I was never your cure. I am your addiction.
You hurt me far too many times, I could mention
After it has all been done and said –
You thought you could leave, but I’m still in your head.

I will not abandon you.
I’m not sure if you get my messages. You often say you will block my number. So I don’t know if they get through to you – either literally or metaphorically. But I know you check this website every day so I will tell it to you again here. I will not abandon you.

Letter to my husband
Dear Richard,
You’ve always been a coward. I didn’t see it for so long because I loved you. Though I love you still, the rose-colored glasses have been removed and I see you for what you are.
You are a coward. You were a coward before I met you. And you are a coward still. You told me yourself that you stayed on SSI/Disability long after you had any need of it – that staying on it was your “security blanket.” When I needed you most to speak for me, you stayed silent. When I needed you to notice me and the work I was doing, you ignored me. You belittled me. You marginalized me. And when I was struggling after running out of medication, you not only failed to notice – you left. You abandoned me in my most desperate hour. And you’ve abandoned me every day, every hour, every minute since then.

Happy Anniversary Richard!
I would like to wish my husband a happy anniversary! It was one year ago today he revealed to me the lie that our marriage had been built upon.

On being “lucky”
I am a survivor.
I have survived not one – but two sexual assaults.
I have survived the loss of my babies, Alexandra and Frances.
I have survived the loss of my dear friend Jennifer.
I’ve also survived three car crashes, four job losses, and high school.
Yet, I still consider myself a “lucky” survivor of sexual assault.

Survivors. Digging Deep. And the Exhausting Nature of Rage.
Content note: discussion of sexual assault, rape, depression
I haven’t blogged in months. Three-and-a-half months, roughly. On Monday, I wrote about how depressed I was most of the summer, and that’s part of the story.
