Believed to be the story that inspired John Grisham's A Time to Kill; This fictionalized autobio is a true life rape victim's story. Happy Ending!!! Promise!!!
A2 shame and trauma can be such silencers for survivors of sexual abuse/assault, so to speak, and then be met with the opposite of kindness can further close down one's voice. Kindness is essential. #sexabusechat
Kindness can also make someone know that they are important and not invisible to the world. Just knowing you matter to someone can make everything better. #sexabusechat
@RachelintheOC@kapoors_s I was asking this of myself a few days back, how can we possibly act w complete selfless intent? Only by reacting to all with love, then I understood why we need to forgive
A1: What's missing from many discussions aimed at survivors is kindness as well as compassion. No consideration that these people (regardless of gender) have lived through horrific crimes and are traumatized. This saddens me more than anything about this topic #SexAbuseChat
