A Strong Story From a Strong Victim of Sexual Assault

Original story

Message to a Survivor

If you were assaulted just always remember that it was not your fault. It is not your fault. Tell your self that he is garbage and you are strong and you will be okay. I got pepper spray and I go to self defense classes annually to. This may help you too.

Message of Healing

I just wish that he could be thrown in prison and/ or apologize to me.

When I was in college I met this horrible man who insisted that he wanted to date me. He insisted that we hit it off on our first date when he knew that we had nothing in common and it could never work. He smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, drank alcohol to get drunk all of the time and even used harder drugs like shrooms as he called them. I am not into any of these things. I did not get along well with him or with his family or friends, but he absolutely insisted that I continue to talk to him and be in a serious relationship with him. He continuously talked me into hanging out with him and his friends who constantly smoked and drank all the time. As I got to know him he told me that he has no hopes, no dreams, no heroes, and no aspirations. He lived with his parents and had no car. He told me that he is too lazy to even learn to drive. He also continuously talked me into doing things that I did not want to do like hang out with his friends who I did not like because they smoked and drank so much. From early on in the relationship he asked me to have unprotected sex with him and I told him, no, I will not do that. He found a way to talk me into having unprotected oral sex with him by continuously asking and telling me that I cannot get pregnant from that. I agreed to that but I did not agree to unprotected regular sex. Yet he kept asking me for unprotected regular sex over and over again. He repeatedly tried to coerce me into this and I said no every single time. One day he called my cell phone and started screaming into the phone that he could not feel enough pleasure with a condom on and is not taking no for an answer anymore. He screamed at me repeatedly over and over again and said, "I am going to force you". A few months later, I was at his friends' house with him in my deep sleep and he forced me into unprotected sex with him as I was asleep in my deep sleep. He woke me up and said that he had had unprotected (nonconsensual) sex with me because I did not give him a condom. This man is a complete rapist. If that was not bad enough he continued to drink to the point where he was drunk and began calling me and leaving me messages calling me the N word over and over again. (The N word is nigger), (I am black and he is white). I wonder if he had gotten me pregnant if he would call his own children that word. This man was THE most sinister, most disgraceful, most despicable, most wicked people I have ever ever met in my entire existence as a human being. I really wish that I never met him. It is a shame that he was ever born. I really wish that he could be deported back to his original country and thrown in prison for life.

Grounding activity

Find a comfortable place to sit. Gently close your eyes and take a couple of deep breaths - in through your nose (count to 3), out through your mouth (count of 3). Now open your eyes and look around you. Name the following out loud:

5 – things you can see (you can look within the room and out of the window)

4 – things you can feel (what is in front of you that you can touch?)

3 – things you can hear

2 – things you can smell

1 – thing you like about yourself.

Take a deep breath to end.

From where you are sitting, look around for things that have a texture or are nice or interesting to look at.

Hold an object in your hand and bring your full focus to it. Look at where shadows fall on parts of it or maybe where there are shapes that form within the object. Feel how heavy or light it is in your hand and what the surface texture feels like under your fingers (This can also be done with a pet if you have one).

Take a deep breath to end.

Ask yourself the following questions and answer them out loud:

1. Where am I?

2. What day of the week is today?

3. What is today’s date?

4. What is the current month?

5. What is the current year?

6. How old am I?

7. What season is it?

Take a deep breath to end.

Put your right hand palm down on your left shoulder. Put your left hand palm down on your right shoulder. Choose a sentence that will strengthen you. For example: “I am powerful.” Say the sentence out loud first and pat your right hand on your left shoulder, then your left hand on your right shoulder.

Alternate the patting. Do ten pats altogether, five on each side, each time repeating your sentences aloud.

Take a deep breath to end.

Cross your arms in front of you and draw them towards your chest. With your right hand, hold your left upper arm. With your left hand, hold your right upper arm. Squeeze gently, and pull your arms inwards. Hold the squeeze for a little while, finding the right amount of squeeze for you in this moment. Hold the tension and release. Then squeeze for a little while again and release. Stay like that for a moment.

Take a deep breath to end.
