It's too much what I've been hearing in the news lately, so painful drumming up memories from 20 years ago. She was unconscious you had no right to lay a finger on her no matter how intoxicated you were, she couldn't say no. She was lucky to have heroes step in for her though your punishment was weak and you should have to serve a steeper sentence for stripping away her value and self worth and dignity. At least there were witnesses and she was believed . Imagine what it feels like to be told you are not believed and have it promptly swept under the rug. Imagine those closest to you, turning their backs on you and leaving you to pick up the pieces. Imagine 10 years later as a new mom, crying that you don't deserve to be one due to your past, and the worthlessness you feel, still not being able to express it as it will turn your life upside down. Your spirit and life profoundly damaged forever . So you repress it, feeling like a nothing in the process , like you don't matter. You've ruined her fucking life bro, and it's just starting
I pray she gets the support she needs in time, before it's too late. I remember the outfit I was wearing. If I could find it I'd fucking burn it. If 20 years ago I knew what I knew now, life would be very different. I'd put away your broom and stop sweeping shit under the rug to protect everyone else. I'd protect my rights instead.
