(trying this again...didn't post my first one.. ><<)

I put it here because its the one that hits closest to home. The rape that continues, over and over, just so he can find out just how much control he really does have over her.

Rape can take more away from a woman than just their self respect, their control over their own body and thier own life...

It can take away the last of a woman's innocence.

I know because I survived it, I'm the person I am today because of that and because of one precious man that had the patience to help me through. I don't think Dave will ever truely know how much he helped me heal.

..and now I'm getting emotional, so I'll stop :D
