You know we all talk about the rape..but there is an aftermath [View all]

and sometimes it is if not worse than the rape...more influential in our lives.

I ran away from home because of my rape...and not just once...by the age of 13 I was in front of a judge and my mother told him I was incorrigible..so I was sent to reform school

In reform school I ended up in solitary for 10 days and put into the punishment cottage...

I was released when I was almost 15..and I ran away again...and my probation officer promised me...she would place me into a foster home (as I thought I could do better without MY family) ..at court she told the judge I should go back to reform school (no mention of foster home)..

So the aftermath of the rape is just as bad as the rape itself...I say

I was raped by 2 strangers...then my mother (and a judge) then my probation officer..
